0:00.0	Welcome back to the Simple Farmhouse Life podcast. Today, I'm having on my good friend,
0:05.3	Jay Merill from Large Family Table and Jay Merill Stewart over on YouTube. If you're on YouTube and
0:11.7	you've looked up large family meals or batch cooking or freezer cooking or talking up for what
0:18.3	we're going to talk about is a grocery store in her basement, any kind of food preservation stuff.
0:22.8	You've came across Jay Merill. I've had the opportunity to hang out with her in real life a couple
0:27.2	times and we we have plans to do it again. So I think you're going to absolutely love this
0:32.9	interview. We could chat forever, but we're going to limit it to about an hour. All right,
