Hello everyone

I just wrote a life biography and had a time out and lost everything!

Love the site, valuable info for me, hope to be accepted.

I am an American living in Germany for over 30 years.

Avid gardener, and preserve a lot!

Welcome, Jack
There's some major technical issues at the moment, which might explain your post disappearing.
The clever IT guys are working on it!
I'm very interested in food and its preservation. Do you make sauerkraut? I've tried a few times and it's gone mushy.
I might bring it up over there...
