I'm an instigator, always have been.

That doens't surprise me.  I could use some myself about now; steroids

Yep.  And one of them I've found loves ham.  That goes double for ham fat.

Good move.  I used to can some things, but not low-acid veggies. 
Applesauce maybe. I can't eat the stuff from the store.

-> Yep, that is so true.. Over here, we do leave a bag with just refundable
cans

mind

I don't know anyone at this point who can't use some more money.

Or more likely, fresh mouse and slightly less fresh fast food.

It's still a metal sink, and metal will kill glass if given the

-> Sounds neat :)  I have a meat grinder attachment for my KitchenAid 

If I ever get the recipe typed, the ground raisins go into a very old
cookie recipe - originally designed for steel-cut oats I think.

Too true.  I'm none too fond of ground beef anyway.

It's fueled many a UTube video!
