I remember back in the 50’s when the farm women in our family got their giant chest freezers. How convenient for them.
I keep cookies in freezer to send home with grandchildren. I save oatmeal containers or buy containers at garage sales because they think Grandma has an unending supply of containers.
I’ve canned 50-60 quarts of tomato juice every year but this year I roasted halves with peppers, onion, cumin, even small zucchini. Run through food processor then freeze. (My upright freezer is so packed right now)
My friend gives me jalapeņos, squash & sweet corn so it’s frozen too.
I canned a few jars of dill pickles. (Using Mrs. Wages mix)
Also canned 6 jars beet pickles (half for us & half for our son in law’s birthday)
I love Rhodes Texas size frozen buns. I can defrost amount I need and bake them. Works better than making my own.
Yesterday we pulled out a block of frozen soup for lunch. So handy.
Grocery store had Gala apples on a 2 day sale so I froze enough for several apple crisps.
Pail of potatoes (from friend’s garden) in the pantry too.
Thanksgiving dinner will be from above plus 18 lb turkey that’s waiting in my neighbor’s freezer.
