 RH>> So, we won't starve. (G)
 NB>> Certainly doesn't sound like that would be much of a possibility..
 NB>> Nor are you likely to be too bored with what's been put up for the
 NB>> winter, either...  ;)

 RH> I just popped some baked acorn squash into the freezer. 

More winter goodies..  ;)

 RH> Had part of it for supper with some mango chutney chicken thighs and
 RH> quinoa. The mango chutney went better with the thighs than the breasts
 RH> I'd tried it on earlier. This time I used the last quarter or so of a
 RH> commercial jar; last time I'd used home made. The commercial stuff was
 RH> thicker and stayed on the chicken better but also very high carb.
 
Sounds pretty yummy...  :)   Have you used up all your homemade stock of
mango chutney now..? I remember you said you'd found more hiding with
the empty jars...

 NB>> That's about what I was thinking, actually.... Mayo doesn't freeze
 NB>> well, but the meat would be fine... and all chopped up would make
 NB>> ham salad quite simple later...  :)

 RH> I got it done today, after using more of it for lunch. There was only
 RH> enough ham that when chopped, filled a pint box about 2/3 full so it's
 RH> in the fridge for now. I might put it in the freezer later this week
 RH> tho.

So did you use it, or freeze it for later...?

 NB>> I like to use fresh (or frozen pearl) onions for stews, pot roast
 NB>> types of things, and sauteed fresh (cut large) to cook with eggplant
 NB>> and other veggie dishes...   :)   But if I don't have them on hand,
 NB>> tossing in the dried ones is better than nothing... ;)

 RH> True, but if I don't have any fresh onions on hand, it means I'm
 RH> needing to do a shopping trip to replenish the pantry. Other things
 RH> are either low or out at that point as well.

I don't routinely keep them on hand, because they tend to go bad on me
before I get around to using them... more likely to buy intentionally
for something I've got in mind to make... which means that if I realize
I should be adding onions to something, I probably don't have any on
hand...  ;)   I thought I did quite well using up the leftover fresh
onions from MLoo's stay here before they went bad...  ;)

 RH>> I made the beans for an American Legion/Auxilery dinner Friday night
 NB>> Sounds like they made a hit at the dinner...  :)

 RH> Very much so! Gave one lady the nutshell verbal form of the recipe.
 RH> She'd taken some, then when she went back for another plate full, had
 RH> a good helping of the beans on it.

Think she'll make them for herself, now...?   :)
