I canned tomato sauce last night instead of writing a blog post. My thoughts on canning:

1. Every action counts.

2. The future is not discounted — we do every action now because we are 100% preventing some form of mold or bacteria that could kill me.

3. The future may be overrated — I envision all of these ways I will use the tomato sauce now. Will I still want to eat these things next month?

4. The output is only as good as the input. Quality matters.

5. Patience. If you want a thicker sauce, patience.

6. Time is a great mixer of things.
