Ok so it has taken 10 years but I think I am finally getting the hang of this running the house thing. Doug has helped-- alot. Somehow he knew more about it than I did. Nothing is perfect yet, but it is getting there. Here is an example:
We planted a garden. In years past we either ate what we grew before it went bad or it went bad. In years past I had tried to freeze things like green beans, but they ended up sitting in my freezer for two years cause they were all frozen to each other and I couldn't defrost only some. So freezing seemed to be a fruitless idea. Well, I have recently been taught a few freezing tricks from a good friend at church. Her garden in much larger than mine and she freezes, cans and preserves most of what she grows. Below is a picture of one of her freezing methods.
Yes, those ice cubes are green. They are actually full of chopped green peppers. I chopped up 13 yesterday. I saved a few to eat raw as a snack, but the rest are here, in my freezer. Now when I need green pepper for a recipe I just take out a few cubes and I am good to go. I actually went and bought ice cube trays for this project, we have an automatic ice maker in our freezer -- no trays needed.
Wonder what domesticated Robyn will do next?? Stay tuned!! Oh and I am currently accepting ideas and tips on anything household related.

We used to keep all of our frozen stuff at Krogers and then just go and get it when we needed it. :)
