How to Preserve Fresh Tomatoes Without Canning

I don't like to fidget with food, so I don't remove the skins from the tomatoes.  Just chop them up, whiz them in the blender. Add a little citric acid if desired to keep fresher longer, but not too much as this will cause bitterness. Freeze in ice cube trays.  Remove when frozen and place into freezer bags.  These tomato cubes can later be added to soups, stews, smoothies, juice drinks and the like.   A tomato cube can be added into a fruit drink and it won't even be detectable to taste.

  

Cheap Apple Prices in Zanesville

How could anyone beat the price of $1.28 for a 3 lb bag of Ohio grown apples unless they had their own apple orchard?  Pick n Save in Zanesville wins my vote for sale of the week.  I bought 25 bags of these apples.  They store fairly well right in their bags.  Place them in a cool, dark spot and some of them (Not McIntosh, though) will last until January or longer.  They make great pies, apple butter, dried apples, apple dolls, whatever one might fancy.

Annies (TM) - Manager's Special On Closeout Table

On Sunday Sept. 13, Kroger's on Maple Ave. in Zanesville, Ohio  had these boxes of Annies (TM) Macaroni at 50 cents per box and I got 6 of them.

Entrance, Exits at Tee-Jayes in Zanesville

  Tee Jayes on Maple Ave. in Zanesville, Ohio has closed two of their three Maple Ave. exit/entrances.  There are cement pilings and orange barrels marking the locations.  I went by there last week and thought they had closed off the restarant or something.  It seems as if other locations on Maple Ave. are being required to do the same thing?  Maybe ODOT enforcement?  I guess it is to help reduce the number of accidents?  Well, just so no one has an accident, be careful when entering Tee Jayes and be sure to go in the center entrance section, as it is still open and the one behind the restarant on the side street is still usuable.

Knudsen's - Manager's Special at Kroger's

Again, the product was on the bargain table, but is all gone as far as I know.  It sometimes pays to watch the bargain table at Kroger's on Maple Ave. in Zanesville.  It is up front near the exit of the store. I got 10 bottles of Knudsen juice with expiration labels of 2010 and 2011 on a Manager's special at $1.25 per bottle, usually selling for $3.69 per bottle.  I love Knudsen juice.  Just look at the ingredients! Sometimes I use fresh fruit and ice cubes in my Vita Mix Blender and add some of this juice to it for a combination smoothie.

How to Save Fresh Pears For Later Without Canning

I had some pears that were getting a little ripe, so I put them into my Vita-Mix blender and pureed them.  Then I froze them in ice cube trays and put them into freezer bags.  These can be added later to smoothies, cookies, muffins and the like. I put a little vitamin C in a couple quarts of puree and this will keep them from turning so dark and help preserve them.  I don't like sugar so much, but some could be added to help the preservation process.

 

Kentucky Fried Remodeling

Kentucky Fried Chicken on Maple Ave. in Zanesville is underway with a major remodeling project.  Both entrances to the restaurant are blocked.  The Ovens and like are all sitting in the parking lot Monday morning as workers skurry about.  Guess they will not be getting any chicken dinners at lunch break today.

Good Deal at Krogers

 

Although the product is sold out, I got 11 boxes of Kashi Cereal Sunday Sept. 13 at Krogers on Maple Ave.  They were selling off a shopping cart full, which was sold by Sunday evening.  I like deals, but try to be somewhat health oriented, so at $2.00 a box with an expiration label of May, 2010 for me was tops.  Walmart on Maple Ave. was selling the same product for around $3.50 box.

 

Craig's List Now In Zanesville

I am glad to see that Craig's List is now in Zanesville.  www.craigslist.com  It sure will make it more convenient to list garage sales and items for sale now.  I have not been on the site for awhile, so does anyone know when they first added the category "Zanesville/Cambridge.  It used to be that the closest locations were Columbus or Wheeling.
