I'm a slicer of frozen stuff cooker. It's how I handle the bacon I use for sauce bases--I slice off the frozen package so I get julienned slices, basically, and I can keep it forever. I found I was never eating rashers of bacon anyway, just using it sliced tiny for omelettes and the like.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Do you take it out of the can to freeze it? If not, how do you squeeze it out of the can to slice it? Because this sounds awesome!
I open one end of the can, freeze it, and then open the other end and slide the cylinder out and keep it that way, slicing some off when I need it. If I had a better can opener I'd wait until it was frozen before opening it, but mine's normal and crap. I want one of those unsealer ones--later when I have money again.
Wow, that is ingenious! I will have to try it.
I only ever use tomato paste for batches of chili, and that takes two whole cans, so no leftovers.
Can you believe there's a reality show out there called The Cougar?
And I'm not on it?
Beggars belief.
I love the idea of freezing the tomato paste. I usually just buy a tube since that seems to keep in the fridge long enough for me to use it all.
Hmm. Now I want to make chili. I should try out my new crock pot.
I am so tired. My stretch teacher today decided to have us do all abs and lower back. I needed it, but ouch! It's a 1 1/2 hour class.
Is it just me, or does this column (Maureen Dowd on eye color) make no sense at all? [link]
That is too funny, ita.
How are you feeling, btw?
How are you feeling, btw?
Jealous of your stretch class, FTR. And cranky from lack of sleep. Lunesta is not my friend. Unless I have dilaudid in my system it seems I don't sleep, which is terrible.
