it's canning day for whimsical wednesday! canning day? from weird holidays' website:
In 1795, Nicolas François Appert won 12,000 francs in a contest sponsored by Napoleon Bonaparte for devising a way to heat and seal foods in glass bottles. In 1812, Nicolas Appert was awarded the title of “Benefactor of Humanity” for his inventions that revolutionized our diet. Nicolas François Appert was born on October 23, 1752 at Chalons-Sur-Marne.
we'll celebrate by doing something, anything with a canning jar: ball, mason, whatever brand in your cupboard. if no actual canning jar, any jar will do: pickle, mayonnaise, spaghetti sauce. after all, they have all evolved from the original canning jar! what will you create with your jar?!
