The Tattler lids and seals have VERY solid seals. It is a bit more of an effort to open a new jar than one with a metal lid. I feel like the rubber seal is more forgiving and not as sensitive to failing. I still use the metal lids as a backup...when I buy them on sale (rarely). Overall, I love them. I also love that I can throw them into the dishwasher too!

I ended up freezing all but 3 single breasts that I baked and then made into soup.<br /><br />How tight a seal is the Tattler?

Someone else could learn from your experience." It's also a step in my commitment to myself to lead a more authentic life - worts and all. I don't want to perpetuate "effortless perfection" as I've had several conversations with young moms who were intimidated by me. And that is NOT something I want.

Nice harvest, Thing One and Thing Two! I mean Child Two and Child Three!<br /><br />Funny that you mention looking forward to fall. I just said to Brent last night that I hate seeing the evening ground fog because it heralds the coming of autumn. I want to reset the clock and have another May, June and July!
