I cook with more onions than that for just two of us! We love onions! You won't find the clumping together as much of a problem as you think. Even when they do, they break off easily. As was said above...work fast and keep them cold. I admit that I never thought of freezing the cookie sheet...

That's exactly why I like the small bags!

My experience is that they do tend to form clumps, but they break up easily enough, either by hand manipulation, by whacking the bag on the counter, or poking with a butter knife. I just don't like getting a lot of ice crystals in them, which happens over time when you open and close the bag...

I freeze a large quantity of onions. Peppers can be frozen and used exactly in the same way. Just slice or dice and freeze in air tight containers or bags. Better used in cooked dishes instead of raw purposes, as they will not have the same texture as fresh. No need to thaw before use, just...

oops...duplicate post

Forgot some... We also gave up our landline telephone. We don't have cable television. Actually, we don't watch television. We don't have a digital antennae and can't pick up any stations, so we have netflix streaming to the TV and computer. If there is something on tv that I want to watch...

1. We take advantage of the free mulch program from our city. All that is required is that we bring our own trailer (or pickup) and be a resident of the city. They use their equipment to dump it in the trailer. This saves us a ton of money. 2. I stopped buying soy milk and started making...

My sympathies and thoughts are with you on the loss of your mother. Smelling the roses is such a nice thing. I lost my Daddy a year ago. It was his time to go, but I miss him so much. The day after Daddy's funeral, I took my mother to the cemetery to retrieve some items from a wreath. This...

If the peaches are still in pots, I would protect them in freezing weather. Mayhaws are in the hawthorn family. They are harder to find in the wild because of urban sprawl and woodlands being developed. The two I have aren't actually mine! They are on my mother's side of the boundary between...

Is your peach tree well established, or a young tree (less than 3 years old)? I believe peaches are cold hardy, but I don't know to what temperature. We don't have peaches, and I don't know if my husband has them on our master plan for the orchard. Although they have some varieties that do...

Well now, that sounds like something I need to try! What's the dumpling recipe to go with that? :)

Just hope it isn't kudzu! :lol:

You've got my curiousity up...did a google search for "brown seed pods" and came up with these that seemed to fit the description. I tried to narrow it down by "Louisiana" and "hairy" without as much success for quality sites and photos. Any of these fit the bill...

I'm in a different state than you, but the regulations may be similar. I think you will run into more complications selling to the convenience store, who then sells your eggs, instead of you selling directly to the consumer. In my state, it makes the difference whether you need a license or...

We have blackberries and dewberries. The dewberries grow wild on our fenceline. We don't do anything special for them. They can spread to other areas, but we mow up to the fenceline, so they are contained. Being on the fence makes them easier to pick than when they are in a heap of brambles...

I've been wanting to make violet jelly. My wild violets are so scattered though, it might end up being too much of a chore to gather them.

you're making my mouth water!

oh yummmmmmmmmmm....that looks so good! I guess that is like the marinated mozzarella balls available in the store, only homemade with all natural ingredients and oh-so-much better than store bought? :) I buy those to make a delicious appetizer when I have company. I skewer the marinated...

You're lucky to have the generator! We don't have our own, but we used my father's generator for both houses. We used the old Kubota tractor and cart to haul it back and forth. We'd hook it up to his freezer for a few hours, then bring it back to our house for a few hours! I bet you were...

That's almost a duplicate of us! For Rita, my parents left here and went to their camphouse, between Woodville and Colmesneil! Lots of damage at both places, but they would probably have been safer remaining at home! By the time Ike came along, I was living here and we had to make a decision...
