I have a food saver (a vacuum sealer machine that locks in freshness) and I use it a lot and I love it!
It really does extend the life of your food, protects against freezer burn and is an all-around life saver in my household.
Today I opened the Gruyère to shred some for the bean stew in the crock pot and I sighed. Looking at the size of the block of cheese I KNOW its going to go bad before I can use it all.
Then the thought occurred to me. What if I cut it into usable sized blocks and vacuum seal the rest into individual packages. I am not sure it will stop it from molding …. But I DO know it won’t accelerate the process!!!! So we shall see boys and girls if I have a way to preserve cheese too.
Keep your fingers crossed for me.
Now on to Gratitudes!
I am grateful for my extended family; sisters brothers, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and the list goes on and on. February is a month of birthdays! Sister’s is on the first, brother’s is on the 8th and mine is more toward the end of the month. My Aunt’s is on the 23rd I think, really close to mine.
So my thoughts and love turn to them. Despite the problems in each of their individual lives we try to keep in touch, share the good times, and offer love, sympathy and comfort in times of stress. We watch each other grow up and grow old. Chide each other when we step out of line and love each other anyway. Not a day goes by that I don’t offer a prayer, think about old times, wish they were closer or just thank God for their connection to me and my life.
good luck with the cheese – I hope the food saver works. 🙂
And what a blessing to have wonderful family !
Oh me too Kellly!!! I hate when cheese starts to …. grow.
As for my family, We don’t always get along, and we don’t always see eye to eye.. But if I need anything – they are always here for me.
I am blessed.
[…] remember when I tried the cheese experiment , on the 29th of January? Well here it is April 4th and the cheese is still perfectly fine! No mold […]
