too funny :) I have lots of canning jars empty, but I also fill mine with all my dry staples, and use them for leftovers in the fridge, and to take lunch to work, and share food with friends (my good friends return jars ;), and if not, I'm always on the lookout for jars at thrift stores.
Happy canning in 2013!...my last canning last year was salsa & blueberry jam on Dec. 23rd...for Christmas gifts, of course. :)
