I have green beans & both cherry and grape tomatoes that are ready for the picking. I need them gone by this weekend. Any takers? (There are lots of regular tomatoes too, but I have plans to use those, sorry:).
Beans can be eaten fresh, or canned.
Tomatoes can be eaten fresh, or dehydrated (think sun dried tomatoes), & I'm sure there are lots of recipes out there where you can can them somehow? I've only ever dehydrated them so I'm not sure on the canning. But let me know what you find-I'm interested.
The best thing would be for you to call me 757-3274. Just come pick until you are happy!

Chicken
Ok. I am back from the blogging hiatus I claimed to be in need of (not sure why said hiatus was necessary, but....) Macey's is having a 'Back to School Blast' or something along those lines and is having their chicken tenders/ breasts (you choose which you'd like) on sale for $1.49/lb. This is a killer deal. Let me repeat THIS IS A STELLAR DEAL. Go get some. If you are not sure what to do with a plethora of chicken once you've obtained it, let me give some ideas-and please feel free to add to my so-called list in the comment section. I'd love some other ideas on what to do with it.
* Freeze it
* Cook it, bag it, freeze it (cooking methods: diced, grilled, fried in batter-not so sure that would be that good re-heated). At any given time I have at least 4 little snack sized baggies chuck full of diced cooked chicken ready to be put in a chicken pot pie, chicken casserole, etc.)
* Eat it-well, cook it first. Please
* Can it- If you weren't aware that chicken can in fact be preserved other than the freezer method, it can! Super super easy to do as well. Google search it, or call me. I've been doing it for years now and it's easy. I'll guide you through it over the phone or come help you:). Quick run-down on the how-to of canning chicken. Thaw it, cut it (or don't, it doesn't really matter as it will cook while canning and end up shredded. But it might be easier to put in the jars if its cut-and I prefer to cut mine as I KNOW it gets cooked in smaller portions rather than a massive breast that is the same size as your canning jar-yikes), put it in the jar of choice (quart or pint-I prefer pint since I have a rather small family and the pint size really is plenty), put in salt: 1t= quart jars 1/2t.= pint jars, fill with hot water (or don't, the chicken will excrete plenty of liquid while cooking. Should use a different word then 'excrete'....the chicken will.....um......there will be juice that comes out of the chicken? Did that sound better?--I never add water to my chicken, I leave it alone and empty) Pressure cook for 75 minutes. If you're a little nervous to follow my 'by memory' instructions, google search 'how to can chicken' or 'canning chicken instructions' or something of the like.
That's about all I can think of. But go. Get some chicken. The sale dates are only Friday & Saturday. And the ad said 'while supplies last' They are selling them in 10 lb. boxes... Good luck! I"ll see you there, early Friday morning:).
