food bounty

[jesslin]

So I finally got smart... ish, anyway. Got a plethora of peppers, zucchini and kale at the farmers market - the kale, especially, was very well priced, and the peppers are all colored which are often*very*expensive, where I got them b for a very normal pepper price. Too much veg, however, for the two of us to eat in a week or to really keep well

The only thing that might suffer (from freezing without blanching) is the texture; the taste will be fine. I foresee fantastic soups this winter...

Let me know if you want pumpkin - I still have plenty! 8D

Pumpkin butter? :D

Most of the people said it was color that would suffer, but nothing about texture - just that frozen veg were really only good for cooked dishes, which I mostly guessed. Taste/texture was never going to equal fresh anyway, so I'm extremely non-fussed. There shall be stir-fry and curry, and it shall be good :D Mostly, I'll just be glad if I can buy when stores have veg sales and not have to fuss much in order to save the bounty. I find blanching tedious.

I should probably do this, but that would mean an excavation to clean out the fridge to throw out old stuff and ...

I'll just buy frozen. ;)
