my date showed me his goods last night
His canned goods that is! 
I found that kinda hot, and I knew this board would appreciate it.
(editing to clarify, his home canned stuff, not like hey look here's some Campbells!)

He wins some serious points!
Haha that is awesome, now I want to know what he cans. Whadda man!
One of the first times we hung out when my boyfriend and I started dating, he helped me make my first batch of homemeade laundry detergent. Talk about a turn-on!
I think it's cool that he cans.
I think it's even cooler that my neighbor no longer cans -- he gave me 6 dozen bottles (pint) to can fruits in.
I'm glad I could liven things up in here!
Actually I do find stuff like this really hot. Its definitely on the pro side of my decision chart!
SG, mmm pickling!! I LOVE pickled stuff, especially Asian pickles. That reminds me I have a bunch of broccoli because my neighbor went out of town and I only like broccoli in spicy broccoli stem pickles. Maybe I will try to make some before I feed it all to the dogs!!
Pickling I think is the easiest food preservation technique we've tried yet. DH uses the book Wild Fermentation, which he currently carries around like a bible. I drain off the fermetation bacteria (lacto whatever, I can't spelled it) from Stonyfield yogurt tubs (it's the liquid that pools at the top) and keep it in a jar in the fridge. DH adds the chosen vegetable, salt, bacteria, and enough water to cover in these awesome fermenting jars, and it sits on the counter for a week. Presto! Pickles, pickled beets, sauerkraut. If anyone has more questions page me
love that he cans-- hard to find!
supergreen, I LOVE pickles (I get great recipes for Bread n Butter & Chili from MIL). We may have to talk pickles
