Can it!

Okay, I went and did something a little frivolous. It could be an expensive proposition if I like them and they work as well as they are cute.  

I bought a sampling of Weck brand canning jars  They are showing up as the eye candy on a few blogs and I had to try them.  I have ball/kerr/mason jars and lids (the metal and ring type and the plastic daily use kind) but I wanted some eye candy for myself.  Darned pinterest!
I bought 4 sizes..
* 9.8oz tall
* 9.8 oz short and wide
* 12.5 oz short and wide 
* 1/2 liter (19.8 oz)

It says European liter....I can only assume they have bigger liters by the ounce measurements. Here, we are 33.8oz

I want to try my hand a pickling some veggies and some "lunch in a jar" type things for the hubs.
I make soup for the MIL weekly and use the ball/kerr/mason jars in the 8oz size. She says that is the perfect size for her. I really need more plastic lids.

There are plastic lids available for these too, but not from where I got the jars

Here are a couple of links for the cup o' soup type foods. I am sure there is soooo much more out there. You can bake and freeze in these puppies too.
