Jar

secret code hiding on the bottom of all of those jars that you likely have stored and use in your pantry? There are lots of secrets, history, and even cold hard cash hiding in a few of those.

And a few delicious things preserved in what we're talking about this week.

You Yes, it's Mason Ball Jars.

There's a lot

of deliciousness in each and every one.

So, hello to Ashburn, Virginia.

Ashburn, Virginia, hello! And to all our friends and people that we don't know yet in Yorktown Heights, New York, darling.

So, Sylvia, what do you say we drink to that one? Jars up or glasses up?

If you want to buy it in bulk, you know, there's ways to save it in a Mylar bag with an oxygen absorber and add that to the food that you've canned that you want to heat up, whether that be a soup or a sauce or what have you.

But for the most part, I've even in my book Meals in a Jar that came out in 2024, I had fun working with and experimenting with my laboratory at the time that I used back in Michigan with jackfruit, tofu, Um, we even played with some, uh, plant-based soy meat because I know some people enjoy eating that and I personally don't, but I want the real thing.

But when you were saying, you know, taking that beef and putting it in a jar, You don't just have to put it in a jar by itself and then figure out what to do with it later.

You can make beef bourguignon.

And I was able to bring that along and that's probably my other favorite.

Which

book is that in? That's in Meals in a Jar.

Oh,

Today I'm joined by Ken Steems.

Now he was a, a big part of the corporate world, but he gave it all up and he's become a writer and a, a presenter of a podcast called The Jar.

And our theme today is trade it all in.

And I'm very pleased to welcome Ken because his whole take on life is something that I think many of us, um, would find ri-... really difficult to do but has such an amazing impact.

Absolutely.

You come back to America, and I think we need to make it really clear, uh, how do you live your life at the moment?

[laughs] So the project was, uh, originally called 444, my podcast, before I gave it the Jar name.

And the idea was to go to 111 cities and interview 444 people.

It is not Ha Ha Clinton Dix.

Yes, by Jerry in the Jar.

It's

Maller.

I think it's a 4-4-2.

West Ham have just sold a left back, says Jar.

Yes, they have.

Good afternoon, Jimmy and Jar.

Long time no see.

Third stream today.

Oh, Rob.

It's a special Jar episode.

Now, here's Josh and Rob.

You know, it's funny.

When it's 1030-ish, you know it's time for a Jar episode of the Mike O'Mara Show.

Is this the last Jar episode? Maybe.

We'll see.

People have to tune in and find out.

They then summoned the rest of the children, formed a circle around them, and started chanting either sutras, or prayers, or something that sounded like a foreign language.

Then they took some small white sweets out of a creepy jar covered in talismans and they gave these to each of the children.

"Okay, go play at Tangami-sama's place now," they said.

And numerous cheers rose from the fields, and dark faceless figures that appeared to be covered in mud appeared and started running towards the children.

BOTHER, HE SAID INSIDE THE JAR, AND OH, HELP, AND MOSTLY OW, AND HE TRIED BUMPING IT AGAINST THINGS.

BUT AS HE COULDN'T SEE WHAT HE WAS BUMPING IT AGAINST, IT DIDN'T HELP HIM, AND HE TRIED TO CLIMB OUT OF THE TRAP.

But as he could see nothing but Jar, and not much of that, he couldn't find his way.

So at last he lifted up his head, Jar and all, and made a loud, roaring noise of sadness and despair.

And it was at that moment that Piglet looked down.

Help! Help! cried Piglet.
