Here's something I wonder about. I often sing with a group that raises money for local charities. We always pay for our sheet music, but we don't consider performace fees. Are we violating fair-use clauses? This is a particularly senstive issue for me since I plan on doing a song at our next fundraiser that was co-written by my congressman.
Being a man of science, my gastronomical renaissance began when I started watching, "Good Eats," by Alton Brown. I also reccomend buying a copy of "The Joy of Cooking." It can take you from boiling water to haute cuisine. Treat the recipes as a starting point; don't be afraid to substitute and add things that you think will be tastey.
Alas, my freezer is stuffed with my wife's organic-soy chicken-flavored patties and the like. I never thought of canning, though. Thanks for the ideas.
I have WAY too many zucchini, crookneck squash and mini-pumpkins. I have made zuke pasta sauce, various squash cassaroles, roasted pumpkins, and gnocchi with spinach and yellow squash sauce. I am running out of ideas. HELP!
