PW... have you tried freezing them in batter before? I'm guessing you'd be a lot happier with the results if you deep fry them until they're pale gold before freezing... it's how I do french fries...

Oh and when you do your french fries do you par boil the potatoes BEFORE you par fry them?

On the french fries... nope, I just do them raw. Color is the best indicator... you want them about 3/4 of the way to "done". Then you can either deep fry them or simply put them in a hot oven (400-450°) for as long as it takes to get them a nice, toasty golden brown and hot all the way through...

Excellent do you have a favorite batter recipe you can share... probably should move this to the kitchen. I want to do mushrooms as well.

Reverse prepped.....
in other words, used a quart of chicken and a couple quarts of chicken stock to cook up a big ol pot of chicken and sausage gumbo.
I chalked it up to 'quality testing'..............

That sounds good! You could look at that as prepping... you're prepping your body by putting something good and nutritious into it!Reverse prepped.....

Yesterday, we bought 40 lbs of beans. One 20lb bag of pinto beans, and twenty 1-lb bags of navy beans (since our walmart only seems to sell them in 1 or 2lb bags - and the 1lb bags are cheaper per ounce than the two lb bags.)
Mylar, O2 absorber, vacuum packed, and bucketed 150 lbs of hard white spring wheat, the 40lbs of beans, and a bunch of pasta.
We felt like we really accomplished something yesterday.
Oh, on Saturday, the wife made and canned pumpkin butter too. YUM!
