I spent the afternoon in the kitchen today. Friday we took our grand daughters to pick blueberries. The 9 year old doesn't like them, but was very proud of herself for picking 3 pounds to take home. 
The 16 month old loves blueberries and got busy picking. Green ones, red ones, purple ones---all went in her mouth. She ate out of my bucket and contributed red and green blueberries to the bucket. She had a large time. She finally got her fill and when I offered her more blueberries, she turned her head and said no. I'm pretty sure she ate some dirt with them.
My husband picked 4 pounds and I would up with 2 pounds. I washed them and put on cookie sheets and put them in the freezer. Today I vacuum sealed them in bags. Need to go pick some more.
And I had all that squash to do something with! (I picked 27 squash from the garden) I sliced it, shredded it, and froze it. I made cream corn from 20 ears of corn and mixed with the shredded squash for fritters.
I used my Mom's 1950 Salad Master grater.
Cream corn.
I put a cup of squash and a cup of cream corn in Ziploc bags and froze it. I got 13 bags. I sliced the squash and bagged the big slices, the necks went to the grater. Each vacuum sealed bag had from 16-24 slices of squash, depending on the size of the slices. I got 16 bags.
I fried fritters for supper. They didn't come apart this time.
1 cup shredded squash
1 cup cream corn
1 egg
1 cup flour
1/2 large onion, chopped
salt, pepper
I made patties and also did spoon drop. The spoon drop belched forth big popping grease splatters. Won't be doing that again!
And I made squash lasagna!

Holy cow! You done good. I thought I was doing good to grab a few more little tomatoes, lol. I've got some sweet potatoes in tubs that I'm hoping will do something.... never planted them in a tub before so it's anybody's guess what will happen. Congrats on the great haul!
