I'm guesstimating the temp there has been around 55 degrees.<br /><br />Yes, sliced carrots would be good. Also some chopped cooked bacon as another commenter suggested!

As usual, I continue to grow waaaay too many carrots. I still have more in storage than we can possibly eat (or give away) by the end of summer. Too bad we live so far apart. Bet your horses would like some!<br /><br />Rain - Please do let me know how it turned out for you. The last of them were eaten for breakfast this morning with leftover gravy on top.

I haven't made them in a long time . . . and do like to make a bunch for the freezer to pull out whenever. Topped with cottage cheese? I never would have thought of that.<br /><br />Mama Tea - I know you probably do it, but finding time to bake bread is probably a challenge in your busy household! Hope you can squeeze it in, Busy Lady.<br /><br />Sue - I must admit that the air outside does have a "different" feel to it these days. Well, except when it's below zero as it is again this morning. :o(Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-25344709899095400422011-02-26T04:37:19.977-06:002011-02-26T04:37:19.977-06:00No matter what, those veggies KNOW when spring has...No matter what, those veggies KNOW when spring has sprung.

It IS official... since you, my "almost" Northernmost blogger (can't forget about your daughter and the lovely Fiona!) has onions in storage sprouting, it must be right around the corner! Do you freeze mashed potatoes? My experience is that they freeze pretty well. I make bags of garlic mashed potatoes for the freezer and also make twice-baked stuffed potatoes and freeze on a cookie sheet then into a baggie for a yummy meal topped with cottage cheese, one of my favorite dinners while hubby is deployed :)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.com
