Do you really want to walk into a supermarket or restaurant and see nothing available but bins of grain, heads of lettuce and extra-lean meats, or only foods made from those things? That's what's at the bottom of this slippery slope.

Thanks, but no thanks.

I buy and cook a great deal of the above mentioned products - but I also buy ice cream, cookies, and chips as well.

Both my freezer and pantry are running low right now and I'm going to have to do a major stock up. I will do it in 2-3 increments over the next 6 weeks and spend about $300. I will then spend a weekend cooking and putting together meals to put in the freezer and not have to worry about another major stockup for 6 months.

I'm not the only one who does that?

[Gabz]

LOL!!!

I love to cook, but sometimes I don't feel like cooking, so having something in the freezer that can be popped in the over is a definite necessity.

[metmom]

I try to keep the freezer meals for nights when we're running, I'm shot, or sick. It's SOOOOO convenient.

I always stock up for the winter. We have nice days where I can replenish, but you can't count on good weather here; you have to be ready.

Stinky, filthy and disgusting back at ya.' ;-)

There are some here who'd see this as a Great Leap Forward in the March to Utopia.

I have 2 stock pots, the big one and the really big one.

I've made spaghetti sauce and chili recently to use about 2 bushels of tomatoes .

I usually make vegetable soup in them and freeze.

Pretty much the only time I worry about measurements if for baking.

Same here.........and making jelly.

I made blueberry jam , I impressed even myself.

Was my first attempt fooling with preserves.

[Gabz]

Good for you.

I need to get more blueberries - but it is far too wet to go picking them....that is if they even survived Friday' storm and yesterday's rain

[TASMANIANRED]

I didn't know you could get them this late in the season.

Call ahead and see if they were battered into submission.

[Gabz]

It was early October when we went last year.....

I would definitely call ahead. If they got battered, I'll just wait until the end of the month and go get apples.

[TASMANIANRED]

I got a buschel of June apples and froze them...

Mighty good apple pie.
