LEISURE Place Your Ad Today!! Walworth County Sunday Sunday, March 9, 2008 9 FREEZERS HELP SAVE TIME IN THE KITCHEN Daylight Saving Time begins today; it’s time to spring forward and move your clock ahead one hour. In 2005, President Bush signed into law a bill that extended Daylight Saving Time by four weeks. It now begins three weeks earlier on the second Sunday in March and ends one week later on the first Sunday in November. So, do you feel like you’re saving any time? Probably not. The name is really a misnomer, since time is time and there are only 24 hours in a day. Some days, I say “thank goodness!” If you really want to save time, you have to be clever and persistent, and like a wise old waitress once told me, “Never go anywhere with empty hands.” Meaning of course that if you go from here to there, be sure to take something with you. That way, you don’t have to make an extra trip. Saving time in the kitchen is based on the same principle. If you make dinner tonight, make enough for tomorrow’s lunch, or make a second one and freeze it. Or, you can make a sauce tonight that can be turned into soup at the end of the week. To make this work, I depend on cooking lots more on the weekend when I have more time. And, I depend on my freezer. It seems funny to talk about freezers when we’re still in a Cooperative Plus Inc.

But spring eventually will get here. You can find good buys on appliances all year long, but experts say the best time to buy may be around holiday weekends, and Easter will be arriving soon. What to look for Freezers are available with 5.5 cubic feet to 25 cubic feet of foodstorage space. Adjustable racks and baskets simplify storage. There are three basic designs to choose from: chest, upright, or compact. A chest freezer opens from the top and is usually less costly than other types. You can put more food in this type of freezer because there are no shelves. Chest freezers usually have to be manually defrosted at least once a year (more if you open it quite often). A chest freezer is usually a good option if you buy a halfsteer or like to hunt for venison. The upright freezer looks simi- Cardinal Mix Bird Seed 40# Bag Reg. $18.99 Sale Price $16.99 20# Bag Reg. $10.19 Sale Price $8.99 Guardian Shavings Available • Rock Salt • Pet Food • Bird Seed & Feeders • Horse Feeds • Livestock & Show Feeds • Lawn Seed & Fertilizer • Pasture Care • Propane • Outdoor Power Equipment lar to a refrigerator. It takes up less floor space and items are easy to find because it has plenty of shelves and usually doorstorage as well. I always recommend a manual defrost because it keeps a more consistent temperature throughout the year. A compact freezer is small, usually fewer than 10 cubic feet, but may be just right for you. Keep in mind that each cubic foot of space can hold about 35 pounds of food. Check the energy-guide labels when you shop to find the most energy-efficient freezer for you and your family. Look for the lowest annual operating cost among freezers of similar sizes and defrost systems. Remember that a full freezer is more efficient than an empty one. Fill it with ice, if needed, to keep it at least two-thirds full. If you have young children in the house, a safety lock is a good idea.

Line heavy cookie sheet (or sandwich two together) with parchment paper. Drop dough by tablespoon onto the parchment paper, leaving 2 inches between cookies. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely. To freeze: Option 1 — Drop by tablespoon onto cookie sheet and freeze until firm. Remove frozen cookie dough and place in sealable container or freezer Ziploc bags. Freeze for up to 3 months. Option 2 — Divide dough in half and refrigerate until firm. Roll each half of dough into a 12inch long log, keeping the thickness consistent. Wrap tightly and freeze. Slice when frozen.

Spark Plugs, Filters and Other Parts at Additional Charge FOODS OODS FOR FREEZING Prepared pies, ready to bake: Prepare two and freeze one. Fruit pies, pecan pies and pumpkin pies work the best. Freeze them raw. When you are ready to bake, place in oven frozen and add 15 minutes to baking time. Frozen cookie dough: Makes it easy to pull out just what you want and bake up fresh cookies any time. Frozen muffin batter: Remove the container from the freezer and scoop out only what you need. Prepared meats, casseroles and similar dishes such as lasagna: When you make a casserole for dinner, double the recipe and freeze the second one. My favorites: meatballs, meatloaf (uncooked), lasagna, eggplant parmesan, scalloped potatoes and ham, chicken kiev, manicotti or stuffed shells, chili. Prepared fruits on sale or in season: Buy high-quality fruit that is in season or on sale. Peel, core and slice apples, for example, and freeze. Use these for pies, crisps, toppings for pancakes. Strawberries, blueberries, cherries, cranberries all freeze really well. Bananas that are getting overripe can be frozen to be used in smoothies one at a time. Prepared vegetables: If you have a garden, this is a must. If the vegetables are raw, parboil first to set the color and retard bacteria growth, then place a single layer on a cookie sheet and freeze until firm. Then place the IQF (individual quick frozen) pieces in a well-sealed container or a freezer Ziploc bag. My favorites to freeze: asparagus, corn, green beans, prepared squash, peas and broccoli.
