I defrost in the microwave and then do a small bit in the oven or they get really wet. But then the burritos that I freeze are filled with beans for my husband. <br /><br />I buy organic celery if they have it. Celery is always on the list of the dirty dozen. So it is one of the vegetables higher in pesticides.

If it warm gradually which is more normal then we mostly won't notice it.

We are in complete contrast. This year I hope to organise a better storage system for my potatoes, pumpkins and onions. It gets far too hot here and I am thinking about digging an underground cellar.

I look forward to seeing your garden flourish in the coming months while ours in Australia slow.

We were the coldest capital city in the world for most of February. We were colder than the South Pole.

Scrambled eggs and sausage and put in tortilla shell and folded over. Said I could warm in the micro but it dries them out. How do you warm yours? Thinking about just freezing the filling and put in tortilla after it is warmed? I don't grow celery and usually buy organic. Do you buy organic or how important is that? Just trying to be healthy. Thanks.

I do that with mine in the basement, where it is only 55°F at the moment. That's the best I can do for storage.<br /><br />I hope the snow does melt earlier than expected in your area. And that everything underneath is still okay!Dave @ HappyAcreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441364543023807886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-2970725033167901992015-03-01T10:25:18.152-05:002015-03-01T10:25:18.152-05:00You've had such a brutal winter this year.

Mine are just starting to poke through the soil - such a welcome sight, especially when its cold, cold, cold outside.<br /><br />Looks like you have done a fantastic job of keeping track of your frozen veg. I only noted the total quantities that I canned, but didn't note how much veg was frozen & that is a huge part of winter eating for us. I'll definitely try to do a better job with that this year.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.com
