Frozen Food

I finally found boxes for all of my #10 cans!
In the meantime I have been trying to figure out what to do with the food that I had stored in the freezer. Since we had decided to move not long ago I had stopped buying foods to go in the freezer. The one problem was that I wasn't put on the list to get new propane and so have limited how much I cook. This has meant a whole bunch of my freezer foods went to the neighbor. I was very sad to see the sugar snap peas from the Schwan man leave my house. Those things are good.

Despite being almost out of propane (the man doesn't come until after we actually leave) I decided that today will be the day I use up as much food as possible. I have made 4 cheesecakes. NO, I won't eat them all, but I feel better about giving a cheesecake away than a thing of cream cheese.

I currently have 6 mini loafs of pumpkin bread in the oven. I have so much frozen pumpkin I don't have enough indgredients to use it all. I plan on making two pumpkin pies next. If I still haven't run out of propane after making the pies I may just make some more pumpkin bread. The bread will prove very useful on our cross-country drive. I suppose I could make pumpkin cookies as well, maybe add a few chocolate chips in them...hmmm, that would be good.

Anyway, if I hadn't run low on propane I would've been able to utilize the freezer food storage much easier. My future plan will include a gas barbeque, a nice one that you can do lots of stuff with, including change the surface to a flat surface or use a frying pan. If I had had a BBQ this time I would've been able to use all the food. I even almost bought one, but really didn't want to put a BBQ together and then pack it up again on a truck, and at the time, I didn't know where we would live so I didn't know if I would be able to have a place for it in the new place.

Excuses, excuses......I'm going to enjoy the feast...or rather just dessert.
