I've tried buffalo. If I remember it had a "heavy' taste but was very good. I had it at a restaurant, though, and have never cooked it myself.

Buffalo is good. Very lean, too.

By the way Max I have been meaning to tell you that I have become a PT owner. I bought a used one, 2002, white, loaded with sunroof. I have had more fun driving this car than any car ever, even my 77 corvette! We love this car!

I have a strawberry question. I recently purchased a Russian tortoise. He loves chopped greens and strawberries. Can I freeze fresh strawberries by just throwing them in a freezer bag and then into the freezer? If so, how long will they keep? "Boris" and I will appreciate your help.

Yes. Wash them and dry them really well and just pop them in a ziplock. I have kept them over a year.

They'll freeze better if you do NOT hull them, wash them and then place them individually on a cookie sheet to freeze. Once they're frozen, pop them in a ziplock and they'll keep up to a year. We freeze berries for shortcake this way. They don't work as well for pies (get a little soggy), but they retain their sweetness and are a delicious treat in December. LUCKY tortoise you have!

Thanks to you too Teach. Boris loves strawberries but they don't keep well sitting in the refrigerator.

I have a question re eggbeaters. I am trying to follow a low carb diet and therefore I have switched to protein rather than cereal for breakfast. In order to keep the "yolks " down ( ) I thought I would use one egg plus eggbeaters (liquid egg white) for omelettes. BUT the smallest container is 250 ml and I only need 50 - 100 ml per use (ie the container is about 8OZ I think that is - and I use about 1.5 to 3 ounces per use) However I just noticed that the container says KEEP FROZEN - once thawed do not refreeze Well that is impossible. I have to thaw it to get my 50 ml out - once it is thawed, the container cannot be refrozen. Is it OK to leave the container in the fridge for a week or so thawed??? It will take me that long to use it up??? Anyone have any opinions???

I think that they keep for at least a week in the fridge after opening. The other thing you can do is split it into smaller quantities and freeze them separately. We do something similar to what you're thinking of when we make omelets.

Jan, can you take the frozen eggbeaters and maybe it into cubes. It might be a little hard to cut it up, but then it would stay frozen and you would just use the amount you need everyday. Just an idea.

thanks for the ideas - but given the container it comes in and that it is frozen solid - i think I will go with the "leaving it thawed in my fridge for a week" and try that out  If you don't see me on the board for a while, it might be that food poisoning did me in ( but hey, as long as it doesn't kill me, I should lose lots of weight while I am sick, no ?? )

We've left egg beaters and other substitutes in fridge up to a week, but never more. Haven't been sick, so it must be ok. I think the no refreeze thing is because it affects the consistency of the eggs to have them frozen, thawed, frozen again, etc. not because they HAVE to stay frozen to be usable. Just my

Refrigerator Storage: For storage purposes, you can keep an opened carton of Egg Beaters in your refrigerator for up to seven days. Our convenient, resealable pour spout package makes that easier than ever, and avoids messy refrigerator spills. Unopened refrigerated Egg Beaters can be stored fresh in the refrigerator until the expiration date printed on each package. *Source*

You could always cook up a week's worth of omelets (or how ever many days worth of Egg Beaters that you are worried about losing), and freeze them! I use Egg Beaters all the time. I find them in the dairy section of the store, unfrozen. I have found that they take FOREVER to thaw out in the fridge. Sometimes they just don't seem to thaw, and then it's watery with chunks of ice crystals...better to just buy the unfrozen in the first place!

Ok, I am making a recipe called Campfire Casserole and it calls for one package cornmeal mix - prepared. Do you think this means prepared cornbread? I always make cornbread from scratch, so don't know what a package of cornmeal mix is supposed to make, LOL!!

Can you freeze bread crumbs? If so, how long can you keep them in the freezer?

You could, but there's not really a point. If it's bread crumbs, they're already dried out and won't go bad. Just keep 'em in an airtight container to keep moisture and bugs out of 'em, and they're good in either the freezer or the back of a cupboard. I've never heard of breadcrumbs going bad before.

Dipo -- I think (based on very limited experience 'cuz I do homemade, too) that one package of cornbread typically makes an 8x8 pan, so if you can make that from scratch, I'd think it would work.
