I probably have a dozen books on food storage, but not that one.
Yorkie, I missed your post. We have that food saver attachment, and absolutely swear by it. My only concern is that I'm going to end up with tons of glass to be stored. It'll be impossible to move if something happens, and there's also the possibility of breakage.
But, we have a local store that sells 1/2 gallon canning jars, and I just love them for sugar, beans, etc.
