More About Me
I've done a lot of teaching and traveling, and survived (or at least was honorably discharged from) both the Peace Corps and graduate school in physics. My photo was taken 5 days before my dissertation defense---clearly, I am deeply ambivalent Bout academia. For now, I'm happy to be gainfully employed in a fluorescently lit cube farm that lets me go home every afternoon.

Umbra,
Interesting points, all... but you don't really answer the question, do you? What is one to do with the thing once it is in one's home?

April,
That's a great idea for beans! I live alone and love beans, but they're just so labor-intensive.
Also wanted to let you know that I tried your blueberry preserves (put some lemon balm in them) and they are (or, more precisely, were) amazing! I've eaten it in yoghurt, on pancakes, and on cheesecake. More next year...

Umbra,
"Amps" is shorthand for "Amperes." The Ampere is a unit of current. Thus, one does not have an "amount of amps" any more than one has an "amount of eggs"--- one can have a "number of amps" or an "amount of current."
Having gotten grammar and physics out of the way, I have fretted about this issue. I have (otherwise) no phantom loads but my landlord has installed outlets that have little LEDs to indicate that they are functional. I look forward to your future words of wisdom.

April,
For you canning instructions, what size jar are you assuming? Processing time and amount of added acid will be dependent on this!
