You still need sterile bottles when you have to provide milk
(whatever the source) to the nursery when you go back to work!!!!!!

Debatable. If you've got a dishwasher, that's sufficient by the time a
baby's 6mo. Once a baby's capable of picking up random stuff and sticking it
in their gob, sterilising becomes less of an issue. I only ever sterilised
(cold water method) when I was expressing for the local milk bank. The milk
I sent to nursery for YB went into dishwashed bottles. Formula milk's a
different kettle of fish, of course, and grows bacteria far quicker, which
is why it has to be discarded after 24 hours. Breastmilk stays sterile and
drinkable from the fridge for around 7 days!

Sadly not, but an older mummy to be who is expecting to place baby
with nursery at 4-5 months so she can go back to work, and so needs to
be able to provide them with bottles of milk, wherever it comes from
in the first place! But yes, will try free source first.

If you want any tips etc, have a look at misc.kids.breastfeeding - a good
supportive newsgroup, with lots of expertise if you do want to keep the free
source going strong for taking to nursery!

That was my experience - not the 'formula' bit, there was never any in the
house.

Comes out no different that a chicken casserole - the meat is in 1
inch cubes, not that thigh meat is that square, but thats the target
size. Using turkey brest is great. The quality angle is fine. An
suprised more people over here don't do it.

I can't understand why you need the extra processes - unless you breed
chickens and need to store it..

We have chickens but rarely kill one and then only if it's a rooster. The
last one is still in the freezer, we want to be able to choose how we cook
it.

I have had canned chicken and didn't like it - I suppose it's a matter of
experience.

I met the wife of a keen fisherman once who told me she canned (bottled) his
catch of northern pike. She claimed it tasted just like canned salmon,
which is strange since the flavours of the two fish are so different..

Oh, what a waste of pike!

We had a pike angler friend who gave us most of his catches.

He went to the great river in the sky and we haven't had it since - I'd pay
a lot for pike!

When son #1 was about 8, I was teaching him how to fish in the local
reservoir when he caught a 2 pounder. Wife and I cooked it for dinner but
both sons refused it. It was a delicious, delicately flavoured treat.
Canadian chefs often prepare quenelles of pike when taking part in those
international cooking competitions.
