I loved that you included your costs of each meal... definitely makes you realize just how much cheaper (and more delicious) home cooked meals are.Prairie Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03036436697268048651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721132539011670654.post-34019812528933848782011-12-02T15:21:40.783-05:002011-12-02T15:21:40.783-05:00Norma glad you liked the pork recipe and other rec...Norma glad you liked the pork recipe and other recipes. Organized is so funny, maybe organized chaos might be a better description. Methodical yes I spend a lot of time thinking about what I what and/or should do but accomplish very little of it. As far as creative, when it comes to food maybe.<br /><br />Holley that sweet and sour pork wasn't bad. If only I could use a recipe the way it is written but it just ain't going to happen. If I think about it I could go for a month easy and never eat the same meal twice but sometimes get into a rut. When that happens I write out a menu for a whole month. I need to start doing that again.wildernesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03527833260038141710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721132539011670654.post-69568506282422365442011-12-02T14:34:18.148-05:002011-12-02T14:34:18.148-05:00Sweet and sour pork!

It looks great, but I was really drooling over the brussels sprouts! They're one of my favorite vegetables! Tacos sound good, too.

So many young people fall into that trap thinking it is faster and just as good. Granted I spend a lot of time in the kitchen but even when I worked and had a family to feed we ate the same way. Just better time management back then.wildernesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03527833260038141710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721132539011670654.post-26930629176930370322011-12-01T18:58:38.466-05:002011-12-01T18:58:38.466-05:00what great recipes and some great deals on some eq...what great recipes and some great deals on some equally great looking mealsMrs.Pickleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07678592143938874654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721132539011670654.post-82978274873506532242011-12-01T10:10:09.770-05:002011-12-01T10:10:09.770-05:00Robin, I have never froze celery.

Glad you like the recipes.<br /><br />Laura,I watch food sales like a hawk. Unfortunately I only have one store to shop in so not much choice unless I go to the city 45 miles away and with the cost of gas unless a number of stores have good sales at one time it is not worth the trip for me. However I am thinking of going soon and stocking up on some staples at a discount store there. Need to take pantry inventory first.<br /><br />Dave thanks. I live in the kitchen or the garden. I will try frying next time just to see if it helps the texture at all. Do you make your own tortillas. Would be interested especially if you make corn tortillas.<br /><br />Anonymous I don't see any reason why you couldn't can it. Would make a great gift. Mine has been in the refrig a lot longer than it suggests and it is still just fine. I use so little of it that I think a batch would last me a year.wildernesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03527833260038141710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721132539011670654.post-81262116384886933882011-12-01T09:37:46.153-05:002011-12-01T09:37:46.153-05:00Could you can the Hot sauce so it would last longe...Could you can the Hot sauce so it would last longer?

Easy way to put the summer harvests of these items by for later use too. No fuss, no blanching required... just rinse, chop, and freeze.<br /><br />Your meals make me hungry reading about them and you are obviously a power shopper too - getting good deals on what you do purchase.kitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.com/apps/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721132539011670654.post-62277072096364873602011-12-01T08:08:35.565-05:002011-12-01T08:08:35.565-05:00You are something wilderness!

I really should have dried some of the leaves though.

So far I have been able to keep that promise to myself and these are the only 2 materialistic things I need are my nice warm house and food.wildernesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03527833260038141710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721132539011670654.post-51204099500934133632011-12-01T07:49:05.264-05:002011-12-01T07:49:05.264-05:00I continue to be impressed by your ingenuity.I continue to be impressed by your ingenuity.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992626996077874832noreply@blogger.com
