I wrote this back in September. Clearly, the semester got away from me!
As the semester gets under way, I'm finding less time during the week to cook. But it's so difficult to let the beautiful produce from the farm go to waste. This past weekend, I planned out several meals, and spent an entire day cooking. The result is a fridge full of food. This, however, leads to the potential for spoilage, just at a different pace. So, I turned to an old habit from when I was a busy graduate student taking classes & studying for my general exams: freezing meals for future use. Now, I can have the fresh taste of fall even in the middle of winter, when it's too cold to go out or I'm too busy grading exams to cook.
