I wasn't scheduled to blog today but I couldn't resist this one. I had so much fun this week with a new toy; my new Seal-A-Meal. If any of you cook for one you know that (a) finding one portion packages is hard and (b) it's expensive. This week with the help of a Target gift card from my friends, I purchased a Seal-A-Meal and then promptly headed out for Costco and spent about $80 on a variety of meats. I bought catfish, salmon, pork loin, sausages even bleu cheese. Then I came home and began to divide the meat into individual portions. I figure now I have about 20 meals waiting in the freezer. That's $4 per. Not bad. Unlike our government, I can actually "spend money to save money."
They make a bunch of different type of food savers including one brand called...err...Food Saver. They come in hand held and counter top models. I bought my counter top (but easily stored in cupboard) model because it was $49.99 and I had a $50 gift card.
Finally, my other pet peeve is buying fresh herbs only to use once and then throw away. I'm currently experimenting with Thyme, Sage, Rosemary (but Rosemary got away...just kidding) and Dill. So far, so good but I'll let you know how they turn out as I use them.
