She has been snapping up pants and jeans at thrift stores that have wider legs before the style completely shifts. I find she is usually right about these things as she lives in a 'hip' town and is younger. I am thankful. Narrow leg pants look horrid on me.Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380649410508372279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-19019379573032658202015-05-04T07:32:19.238-04:002015-05-04T07:32:19.238-04:00It is always good to have meals in the freezer! M...It is always good to have meals in the freezer! My husband and I painted the shutters on the front of our 2 story house on Saturday. Needless to say we were a little worse for wear on Sunday but I had taken a casserole out of the freezer for Sunday so all I had to do was bake it and make a salad. I feel certain that I would have opted for going out if I had not had that meal all ready to go.<br /><br />I do freeze potatoes and they taste just like fresh when cooked. I peel and cut into about 1 inch cubes. I cook in salted water for 8-10 minutes or just until starting to get tender. Drain and dump them out onto a large baking sheet to cool. Then I package them in qt freezer bags so that laying flat they are just one layer. These can go from the freezer to a skillet and get browned and they are delicious. This has saved many a potato from the compost heap here.<br /><br />We will be out of town for 16 days in May. the first trip will be restful but the second one of 11 days will be go, go, go. I am trying to be very mindful of my grocery purchases to avoid waste.Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380649410508372279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-50922764824972847192015-05-04T01:01:38.578-04:002015-05-04T01:01:38.578-04:00Oh that sounds like a lot of work to me!
