Not RH> hurting but cutting back somewhat on what we buy. The freezer is quite RH> full so we're trying to eat out of that as much as possible, still RH> buying fresh fruits & veggies, eggs, breads (until I can get back to RH> baking), almond milk, etc. SH> We're also trying to eat out of the freezer right now. I have a bunch SH> of soups and stews that we need to get through, plus some roasts and SH> chickens we got on sale. We don't need to buy any meat or frozen veg SH> for a a while. Some of the meats in the freezer will probably get recycled into stews, stir frys, soups, etc. I just need to sit down and plan meals out a bit better. We bought a new freezer last fall--has 4 drawers plus an open spot so we sorted stuff as we transferred things from the old freezer. I also compiled an inventory sheet, something I used to do but had let it slip some years ago. Now I know what's in the freezer and basically where it is, just need to clean and sort fridge freezer now (after I get more use of the hand). --- Catch you later, Ruth rchaffly{at}earthlink{dot}net FIDO 1:396/45.28 ....
