We will run out next week, just two weeks shy of Spring Break. Filling the freezer works. I conserve energy after the commute -- drive = 1 hour, 15 mins. minimum, 1 hour, 30 mins. max on clotted freeways -- by tossing frozen food in sauce pans with about 8 oz. of water on medium high and letting them go.
Foods still taste fresh. Coq au vin and Italian chicken still wonderful. Tortilla soup good, though tortilla strips not as good. Will withhold them next time and fry and add them at thaw. Pot roast not as good. Might as well use crock pot rather than freezing. We loved the artichoke and tomato basil soups. Minestrone a hit. So, too, baked mustard chicken.
I expect to cook my way through Spring Break. I need this. I just can't cook when I get home anymore. Not with this communte becoming more ridiculous. Too stressed. Too tired. And I hate to fight the restaurant crowds and deal with the fat and salt in restaurant foods every night.
Experiment result: Success.
