Kitchen-ness and other ramblings

I ran out of time in the kitchen, so I finally finished up with what I brought home from the grocery store.

Put a head of cauliflower in the freezer, 


...as well as some broccoli (all organic of course).


Froze a bit of diced celery as well, and....



Last year I hosted an online pampered chef party to help out a friend.  I got these for free.  The rubber white tubing is used to shell the garlic clove (works great), and the other slices it.  These made my life so much easier when making garlic powder.  Note:  I didn't know until I had the party, but all of their stuff is made in China, so you may want to check for USA products online.  Anyway, it was so much easier filling a 9 tray dehydrator of sliced garlic.

...filled the dehydrator with garlic to grind into garlic powder.

I boiled more eggs for egg salad.  It's a great meal for our very hot days here.  My husband works outside and next to very hot equipment and doesn't want to eat "hot" food when he gets home.

There are items I am still not able to find in stores, but I'm constantly checking other resources.

Lisa, they also provide cold water bottles for them, which is good.

I love how you freezer your celery. I do that with herbs. The eggs look so nice and colourful! We're in a heat wave and it's sandwiches here for sure!

Rain, thanks. I prefer celery frozen vs. dehydrated. It comes in handy over the winter months.
