Amazing how that works sometimes. Bill & I cleaned a mess if crap out of the boat shack a few years back including a POS white metal cabinet someone insisted on keeping. I think everyone has had one of these at one time or another. Probably the same one. It had no top on it & it was always in the way taking up space. We about killed ourselves dragging the sucker up the hill but we were determined. Got it on the trailer along with the rest & set it out at "the dump". A couple days later it was gone. Good riddance.

I was given a grocery bag of green beans.  Do you guys blanch them before vac pack and freezing them?  Or just warsh and cut the ends off and pack and freeze?

mine get blanched then put on a cookie sheet and into the freezer. When froze I just put them in a bread bag

Yup, I chop 🪓 um up, blanch, dry, then vacuum pack.

[Dotch]

Yup, cut up, blanch 3 minutes, ice water for 5 to 10 minutes, freeze on wax paper covered cookie sheet, put in ziploc bags when frozen.

Thanks guys.  I will do just that tomorrow morning.

Tomatoes are getting away from me. Seems i remember a post from the past about freezing them whole. Could someone refresh my memory? TIA

Yeah, I don't remember where the link was, but it works.  I've done it with Romas that I later used for making sauce.  I just stuck 'em in a Ziploc and freezed 'em.

I'm not sure how well that would work for freezing Big Boys for sammich slices.  Maybe someone else will chime in.

yea boober does it!!!!!!

I got it from JB a few years ago.  I do a quick wash in the sink and freeze in vac bags.  The skin comes right off when partly thawed

[mike89]

I just tossed them in the freezer, then bagged them...   works great!!!

Grabbed the last baseball bat sized zookini,  it's amazing what 3 days away will do to a plant.  The jalapenos and bell peppers are still going strong,  but the tomatoes sure have slowed, picked 3 today. Gave them the talk today, you don't start turning red your otta here...
