Glen came to me a few days ago and said, "I have an important announcement. The outside freezer is full. The inside freezer is full. Don't buy any more frozen food." It is true. The outside freezer is so full that I had to take out the extra loaf of bread I keep on hand. I have become an avid coupon clipper, and, most recently taking advantage of triple coupon days at Shopper's Food Warehouse and Bloom. With coupons, the vegetables were 50 cents, 33 cents, or free. The Red Baron panini were a real splurge for me at about 1.00 each (3.50 less 75 cent coupon tripled -- I had five coupons.) They will come in handy one night when we are hungry and pressed to find something quick to prepare for dinner. Beneath the packaged foods visible in the photo are two boxes filled with individual slices of pumpkin, apple and blueberry crumb pie, all ready to be popped in the oven and topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Uncle Dick brought the pies from a local bakery on Long Island for Thanksgiving. Thanks again:) At the bottom of the freezer are several gallons of frozen blueberries, safely stored until I make blueberry preserves. But that is a story for another day. For the present time, we are eating from our freezer. This week we have enjoyed split pea soup made with a ham bone I stored away, frozen shrimp, and salmon I purchased mid-summer. What a blessing!
