My favorite part about visiting home, though, is all the fantastic things I find hidden away in drawers... at which point I might pack them... forgetting to ask my mom if I can have them.
This may or may not have happened with this new book that I acquired.
A nice, old, brightly colored pamphlet with all you could ever want to know about freezing food.
Even dairy items like eggs! Who would have thought.
Complete with added in notes about freezing and defrosting fried fish, which will certainly come in handy.A belated question to my mother: Can I please, please, please take this home! I promise to take good care of it? Yes? Yay! I love you very much.
Those books like that are to be treasured and come in very handy. I found a blog somewhere and can't remember where now that had copied from an old canning book all the times for processing canned goods before they used pressure cookers. It is great.
ReplyDeleteI freeze egg whites all the time but have never done the whole egg. I make a lot a bread and find I waste a lot of eggs making the egg wash and have no way to keep it for a week or so before I bake bread again.
hello wilderness I agree, these books should be treasured. they are part of the family and history. I just wonder how many other wonderful, beautiful, old, vintage books Prairie Cat found in all of the old drawers in the house. I hope she found more! and shares with others, and
ReplyDeleteI am sure her momma won't mind.
