I have to pack my lunch to work and take leftovers from the previous night's dinner so it typically is homemade fresh items - but nothing like that lovely meal you enjoyed. <br /><br />I got a foodsaver for Christmas this past year and it has been a really nice addition to the kitchen. I still use the zip loc bags for the celery, diced peppers and diced onions because I like being able to scoop out just what I need. I do know what you mean about the frost crystals though by spring. kitsapFGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06120640838501186514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-69748373584486885052012-10-26T09:08:00.962-04:002012-10-26T09:08:00.962-04:00This will be my first time freezing celery, so I w...This will be my first time freezing celery, so I was glad to hear how you did it. I think sealing it with the FoodSaver and freezing in small portions is the answer for us. Ours will wind up mostly in soups too.<br /><br />I can really identify with the whole garden rotation situation. It does take a lot of planning to make it work. I wound up following potatoes with garlic, and garlic with turnips. I have no idea if that's good for the soil but it worked well time wise. And I guess that's as good as it might get for me.Dave @ HappyAcreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441364543023807886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-40657984054569798722012-10-25T18:25:51.351-04:002012-10-25T18:25:51.351-04:00Well if you used distilled vinegar you would want ...Well if you used distilled vinegar you would want to dilute it as distilled vinegar has more bite to it than red (cider might be a better substitute). I'm not talking canned though just refrigerator. Diluting a recipe for canning would be dangerous. But that recipe is not for canning and I want to can mine next year in a water bath. I've looked some up and there are quite a few out there. I'll have to play around next summer and see which ones I like the taste of.

I'm probably going to find one next year that uses cider or distilled vinegar as red wine vinegar is pretty expensive in quantity. Also I didn't use the veggies that they did, but just used what I had in my fridge. My typical meals are whatever is in the fridge. I've looked up some three bean salads for water bath canning and they use much less vinegar and more water. I'll probably be experimenting with what I like (though safely which means never lowering the proportion of vinegar).<br />Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-68268321734395837192012-10-25T17:03:51.893-04:002012-10-25T17:03:51.893-04:00I am working on learning about crop rotation so th...I am working on learning about crop rotation so that I can grow more in my little space. I plan to plant a few celery plants next year and am wondering how far apart they need to be. boy, that frittata sure looks good! Do you have the proportions posted for your vinegar bean salad posted somewhere. Never thought about making a jar for the refrigerator to last for a month! Wondered why I get ice crystals on my bags of freezer food. Guess I need a food saver!!
