We had just brought home half a hog, frozen in packages. When I discovered it, there was red liquid running across the floor! I re-froze the bacon and hams, but the fresh things I cooked all in one day and froze it. That's a LOT of pork chops!loves2spinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02072576848451758173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7836569253657728265.post-85491993690470242132012-08-02T10:26:05.907-05:002012-08-02T10:26:05.907-05:00That is always a fear I have, the freezer going ou...That is always a fear I have, the freezer going out. When we first moved here the freezer got unplugged and we didnt know until it was too late because it was in the shed. I was so thankful because just before we moved I had canned 80lbs. of bacon and 40 lbs of pork or the other way around, in any case I was sure thankful I had done that and that all that meat wasnt lost.debbieohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16591676862695285439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7836569253657728265.post-15913203816558238082012-08-02T05:27:06.860-05:002012-08-02T05:27:06.860-05:00Oh, yes!

Once I got 60# of chicken legs quarters for $.49 a pound and canned them. That has been very convenient. I just open one, take the meat off of the bones, use the broth and meat and add some more homemade chicken broth and some homemade noodles and seasonings and voila! Chicken and noodles Really Fast! You have some good ideas there of other things to can, and also the idea about spreading out your eggs... Freezing things is nice, but then when the power goes out - ouch! A few weeks ago my freezer failed and I thought I was going to have to try to can everything in there. Ugh. Fortunately, Jim was able to get it going again. Whew!loves2spinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02072576848451758173noreply@blogger.com
