The quantities of all the dishes were staggering! I'll have to try the creamed broccoli. I also hate wasting any greens, and the broccoli is so beautiful right now!Daughter Fishhttp://www.daughterfish.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-85765799989596003272012-10-08T09:49:50.678-04:002012-10-08T09:49:50.678-04:00Lisa, thank you.

I don't freeze soups with potato cubes because the potatoes turn a strange texture. Most vegetables need to be cooked before being frozen; raw potatoes would probably oxidize and turn black.Margohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345165456341197559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-58300830690813654512012-10-08T09:22:58.723-04:002012-10-08T09:22:58.723-04:00So Margo - you are shredding the leftover cooked p...So Margo - you are shredding the leftover cooked potatoes, not raw ones, right? You have so many good ideas.<br /><br />A community meal to get away from the soup kitchen to get away from a soup kitchen mentality - what a terrific thought!!
