The New York Times today had a fascinating story about freezing food to save money, waste less food, and make cooking speedier.

Paul and his mom have taught me to freeze things like nuts, cornmeal (great for keeping bugs out depending on where you live), and uncooked popcorn to maintain freshness. However, I started brainstorming with the ideas presented. I love the idea of finding ways to freeze our herbs. We used to share with my folks, but now their herb garden is in better condition than ours! Also, remember those black eyed peas on my menu to eat up, but we got distracted? Why can't I cook them up, freeze them individually on top of rice and send them to Paul for lunches until they are all gone? Then I wouldn't have to eat them at all!

What does this article inspire you to do? Do you have additional wisdom for freezing to pass on? Please share.
