Good thing I defrosted the freezer...


The garden hasn't produced anything enough to preserve yet so I thought
I'd better defrost the freezer before I get hit with a deluge. I had a
problem with my hands for a time so it's been over two years. Ugh! It
took my daughter and I all morning. The frost and ice build-up was
quite spectacular. We had a little chat about her standing there with
the door open when she doesn't even know what she's looking for.

I found way too many packages of shredded zucchini. I can't believe I
froze that many! So I'd appreciate any wheatless ideas on how to use
them up. Not realizing how many I had, I've mainly been using them in
meat loaves. They'd be good in soup, too, I think, but we don't eat
much hot soup in the summer.

The only other surprise I found hidden away was two big packs of vacuum
sealed green beans--- Providers I think, from last year. We'll eat
those up pronto and hope the deer don't get into this year's plantings.
Picked our first tomatoes July 6. Last year it was mid-June but it's
been much wetter this year--- a much appreciated end to our several year
drought.
