New Toy

This past weekend Margo and I bought our Christmas present. The reason we bought it so early is because it was on sale this past week. We bought a foodsaver vacuum sealer. It is pretty awesome, it helps prolong the life of food for a lot longer. For instance, beef in a normal freezer container stays good for about 6 months, with the foodsaver it is 2-3 years. One bonus we got with it was a canister set that you can vacuum seal, so we can put chips, coffee, or other like things in them and it keeps them good a lot longer, like 3 times as long. It will really come in handy when we freeze our fresh produce from the garden or if we butcher animals. Here is a pic of Margo displaying some of our vacuum handywork tonight. No we did not vacuum seal our own poop, is is actually some leftover refried beans we made tonight from leftover pinto beans we made the other day.

glad you clarified that because it really does look like pooh from where i'm sitting. . .

i'd love to have a tutorial on your new toy! i'm always looking for ways to make our perishables last longer.
