> Craig last played for us in February of 2010, and it’s been far too long since we’ve seen him! This will be Craig’s THIRD show at the Old Kitchen Rug. Craig’s music will make your sides split with laughter, and the next moment touch your heart. Craig honed his chops in Portland, but now resides in Nashville as an adjunt professor of music guitar. He has opened for Richard Thompson, Catie Curtis, Boz Scaggs, Roseanne Cash, Ry Cooder, John Hyatt, and Warren Zevon, and his songs have been recorded by Trisha Yearwood, Kathy Mattea, and Peter, Paul and Mary.

> Performing Songwriter Magazine says, “Like the best of Elvis Costello and Warren Zevon, Carothers finds the right mix of weary-eyed cynicism and helpless hearted romanticism… Love songs of the most adult and intelligent kind….”

> Please join us for a stories and songs with Craig Carothers on Saturday, November 9, 2019 starting at 8pm.

Hey guys. Have any of you done any canning, pickling etc?
Any idea if using StarSan to sanitize jars instead of steaming them, boiling etc. would be a good idea? Anyone with experience?
Thank you in advance!

Hi Alexey, With sanitation being so important in canning, I would think you would want to boil/steam, to be certain. StarSan does a good job, but there is always the question of, "Did it touch that particular spot?" and also the notion of whether the acid concentration was high enough . . . Too many factors involved for me with StarSan to try it. Boiling/steaming is so easy . . . Cheers,John Personal. Professional.
