[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You started opening that thin around lunch and JUST NOW got it open at 1:00 AM???

That is either complete perfection in icompetance or absolutely brilliant tenacity.[/quote]

OP here. To answer a few questions, I tried to open it around lunchtime and couldn't. So I put it back and then when online, posting to ask if there was some magic trick to opening these types of jars since I'd never done it before. (For example, if you're opening a jar of Ragu or Welch's, you put a rubberband around the cover before twisting and that always opens the jar.) Right before I was about to go to bed, I decided to try again with the butter knife and it worked. So I posted about it.

I'm 38, and no, don't own any sort of can opener. I simply don't eat anything that requires one. It's been that was since I was 20 and moved out of my parents' house and 18 years later I'm still doing fine without one.

Maybe jarred jam that someone made themselves is not a "foodie" thing. Perhaps I expressed it that way because the friend who gave it to me IS a foodie. I am confident that if she's supposed to boil the jam (or the jar?) before giving it to me, she did. I am not worried about it killing me. [/quote]
