    Food picture dump because the forum interface sucks and I’ve been busy.

    Pad Thai with Thai Tea.

    That looks delicious. Might have to try that some day. Is that shrimp in it?

    I have a week off of work and I want to spend some of that time cooking some ingredients and jarring them. Things like caramelizing a bunch of onions, making a tomato sauce, chicken stock, garlic and rosemary infused olive oil. I've got 12 32 ounce mason jars, I want them all full of stuff by the end of next week that can be used to make easy dinners. Anyone have any ideas of other stuff I should be making and storing in those in the fridge or freezer? Bacon jam? stew?

    Ever do any pickling? Things like pickled onions, garlic, carrots, radishes, and other vegetables make great additions to different meals.

    If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

    I love that bacon jam but a 32oz jar would last months, I only make a couple burgers at a time, I took what I had left to a BBQ with a dozen people and they scared it up. Pickling is what we always did growing up, cukes, asparagus

    Chili freezes well. Make sure you leave enough room in the jars to prevent them from cracking. Pre-cool them overnight before freezing. Our system is incremental in that we make a lot of whatever for several meals and freeze the rest.

    Produce keeps longer in jars, celery in water, strawberries, etc. You could pickle some eggs. Apple butter, marmalade, kimchi, sauerkraut.

    Remember that only the straight sided jars are OK for freezing, the ones with shoulders near the top aren't freezer safe.

    Get you some Hot Pockets and frozen pizzas. They're already frozen so you don't have to put them together before freezing.

    I like pickles a decent amount, but nothing crazy. garlic pickles is an idea. Compound butter another idea. @Yakster if I have the jars with shoulders, can I just not fill them up, and leave some room, so that when it freezes and expands, it doesn't get tall enough to reach the start of the shoulder?
