Abundance of Avocado? Freeze Them!

I was lucky, and happily surprised, to find avocados on sale at a whopping $0.33 each! This is a great sale since they usually go for over $1.00 in my area. I took advantage and stocked up on this yummy-licious "superfood".

Despite my best efforts to use them quickly, they were ripening before I was ready. So, in my normal fashion, and I did some research on freezing avocados. Now, I'm rather picky on the food I freeze because I don't like the texture of my food to change when it's put in the freezer. But I figured I give freezing an avocado a whirl since they are mushy when ripe anyway! LOL

Everyone LOVES boardwalk French fries. Now, you don't need to go to the beach for your fill of French fries, although going to the beach would be fun!!

This recipe will turn your average potato into a feast for everyone. You can also freeze these and have a supply available whenever you need a boardwalk French fry fix.

Yes, Virginia, Container Planting IS Possible...

Container vegetables -
tomatoes and peppers.

Over the last few weeks, I've had people literally laugh at me when I tell them that I have some tomato plants in containers. Why they find that funny, I'm not exactly sure - but they said something like, "yeah, right, you can't grow tomato plants in a container." I think the joke is on them, because I've been VERY successful with my container garden (see picture).

Why do I container garden, you ask? For me, the reason is simple - some people collect stray animals, I collect stray vegetable plants. I hate walking into a nursery and seeing a half-dead plant, so I buy them at half the cost and bring them home. I nurture them, talk to them, and give them a reason to live - supplying me with vegetables!!
