We honestly did not have very much left at all, but we had just the right amount in that we landed gracefully into the fresh harvest season and pretty much ran out of freezer items as the fresh replaced it almost fully. Let's see if I can repeat that again this year! It's always a balancing act.kitsapFGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06120640838501186514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-73135088628339227002012-06-22T21:50:05.694-04:002012-06-22T21:50:05.694-04:00Maybe I need a larger freezer so that I can be org...Maybe I need a larger freezer so that I can be organized like you! lol NancyCozy Thyme Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03933769393226611441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-32800107096700623102012-06-21T19:34:07.664-04:002012-06-21T19:34:07.664-04:00Sounds delicious..

The chest freezer is supposed to be strictly for frozen good from the garden.<br /><br />"The Italian" got some great plastic rectangular containers with lids for the chest freezer. They work great. That way I can separate things and just lift out the containers to get to stuff. When that freezer goes, I'm getting an upright. I think it would make things much easier.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220238404223196571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-24377619898409082412012-06-21T17:42:50.532-04:002012-06-21T17:42:50.532-04:00Sweet & sour chicken and chocolate cake sound ...Sweet & sour chicken and chocolate cake sound wonderful!
