Today is a show where you get to ask me questions and I will answer them. Find out where I get the closing songs for Monday's show, why you should boil your pressure-canned foods before you eat them, how to integrate a new goat on the homestead and more. We will be livestreaming the recording of this so if I see a good question or two there, I will integrate it. Roastery Update Tale of the venting hood Developing New Processes Main topic of the Show: Ask Nicole From Amanda: Would you feel comfortable sharing a little background for those of us that are new followers? Such as what is your property / homestead like?  How long have you lived there?  How did you find your property and what led you there?  I've heard you say "we" many times before and talk about shared pantry and cooking. Do you live with others? Or, do you have some type of community living happening?  How does that work?  Just wanted to get to know you and your homestead a bit more. Thanks and looking forward to listening! David  Where do you get your music that you end your podcasts with? Joy - Question about pressure canning - if when pressure canning the temperature gets up to 240 degrees and is high enough to kill botulism then why must you boil the contents for x amount of minutes after opening?

John  What makes decaf decaf? David O Over 200k people have been killed by coronavirus. How many people must die before we eradicate this deadly virus? Ali Is being offered stock in a company you work for worthwhile?
