    If you blanch the asparagus and store it in air tight freezer containers you can buy when it's cheap and enjoy it for several months. Also, with strawberries, clean and cut, freeze on a single layer on a cookie sheet. Once frozen, stick in backs or tupperware. Great for smoothies, jams, ice cream topping etc etc. The key is to buy A LOT when you see the amazing deal.

    And I absolutely think we should plan a trip to a Pick Your Own farm. We can invite ladies from the oils class and zumba too.
