I have whole chickens for a roast with veggies and then chicken soup. Have not had luck finding good shelf stable milk. Suggestions?

Has anyone else read (and loved) MFK Fisher's How to Cook a Wolf about cooking during wartime and other difficult times. It's a great book, with recipes!

Yes. Scramble first, through, then freeze.


Sorry, to clarify - don’t cook, just whisk the white and yolk together before you freeze. Freezes/thaws more consistently.


eggs also keep for over a month, so for me they aren't a priority for freezing

Here is what I have cooked in last two weeks for my freezers -

Multiple trays of lasagna
Chilli
Spinach-Paneer saag (paneer is seperate), Kadhi with spinach.
Daal Makhani
Chicken meatballs
Tomato soup, Gravy for butter chicken, butter paneer
Indian masala - several pounds of onions-tomato-ginger-garlic-cilantro-green chilli masala.
Badas (for dahi bade), pakodas (for kadhi)
Beans tamale, paneer-veg tamale.
Lots of chicken stock for thai chicken soup (Tom Yum gai)
Chicken kebabs and tuna kebabs.
Roasted eggplants for baingan bharta and baba ghanoush
Barbeque pulled pork
Lots of homemade paneer.

I have also paid for a small baby goat, so I will get packets of cubes, chops and liver on Saturday to freeze.



What part of India are you from? Fellow Indian here.

Did not realize how hilarious and confusing this sentence was. Clarification - I paid our local halal meat shop owner for a goat. He will buy it from the goat farm, butcher it, sort the various cuts - for curry, for kebab, for chops - and make pockets that I can freeze. Its good for 6 months. LOL!
