I’m so glad I found your blogs! They are quite inspiring! I’ve just set my foot on my first garden here at our new home and I’m excited about the outlook! Canning may be in my near future! What a great place to go to for information! Thank you!

I don’t believe in ‘accidents’ (unless their physical). I too, ‘stumbled’ upon this website while I was frantically searching for how to can produce that I’ve grown this summer for the first time in my life (I’m almost 76). I love this site, and I’ve come to love Marissa just through it. I may never meet her because I live about 350 miles northwest of Philly (originally a Bronx girl – never been to Philly), but her words, encouragement and recipes with all the interesting info added are a joy to behold to this old lady just beginning the best part of my life! Thank you, Marissa!

I found Marisa’s Food in Jars on accident, and follow her almost (embarrassingly) religiously. I love her writing. I recently started a food blog for my friends and family….none of whom actually read it. It;s amateurish. But I enjoy it, when I get a chance to write.
I’m responding to you because I lived in Silverdale for 10 years. Born in SoCal, raised in Eastern WA, after Silverdale spent a few years in Hawai’i, and now am in Ohio.
You’d think I would have a endless supply of material for my blog. Ha!
I’d love to share ideas.

Sandra, thanks for the comment! I’m so happy to hear that you like what I do here. I do have a camera with me nearly all the time. I’m totally in love with capturing moments of life.

I heart this blog. Not just because you write it but because the images are stunning (simple, sublime, evocative) and the writing is straight forward. It’s just delicious.

Hi Marissa, I have been doing some research about blogs because I, too, want to write one. So, I researched blog titles like: most beautiful, utopia, writers (don’t go there!), art, food, etc. Then I just decided I would search “old fashioned” because all I really want to do is write a reflection a day along with a photo. I found your blog and enjoyed reading about your food interests and journey to Philadelphia. My sister is also a singer, though she does not make a living at now. I know where Eagle Rock is because I had a friend who lived there, when I lived in Sierra Madre while attending Pasadena High School…But that was a very long time ago. Since then I have lived in New York for many years, then in Silverdale, WA. I’ve been to Walla Walla. Love the Columbia Valley. Today, I am an English and History teacher in Juneau, AK. This is a temporary position while I sort out a new direction for the last half of my life. Anyway, just saying thanks for your inspiration. I’m not expecting a reply. It feels strange writing to a complete stranger, but I guess that is the way of blogs. Cynthia
