One good picture book and a great chapter book. Books like Sarah, Plain and Tall are my kinds of books, I have always liked books about people and places and things that really could happen. I have never been one to enjoy fantasy or science fiction. I like real books, and real places. I like to come away from a book challenged with the knowledge of how a place and time was and how it felt to work with your hands. And if anyone has ever raised a milk fed pumpkin, I would love to know how. I have researched it online and have not found specific instructions yet.
Also, if anyone has done the freezer meals thing, I would like to have some hints. I would like to have a few meals in the freezer for days when things go unexpectedly , etc.
Thanks,
May the Lord find us faithful.
I went to a class on how to cook in one day for a month and a few of my friends formed groups and really had a big success, but I never succeeded! What I did find that was very helpful to me was to,on occasion,double a favorite recipe and put the extra away in the freezer. If you do this enough times, your freezer will be full! I know the library has good books on how to freeze meals too. That's all the help I can be. I am sure lots of others have much more info to share!

Hey..I love reading your blogs...I can't wait to find out more on the FIAR....sounds good to me!
ReplyDeleteAs for meals, I hear ya! Wish I was better at freezing meals myself...the only two we do regularly is vegetable soup and chili beans.
The chili beans is so easy...use a pack of Chil O mix seasoning and follow that recipe (one can diced tomoatoes, can pinto beans, and water I think it is)....we add more water to make it a bit more "soupy" and then eat with grated cheese, sour cream, and chopped green onions! Yum and heartburn! HA! But, it does freeze well.
Love ya!
