... My mom did live in a neighborhood once where a gentleman would have a "garage sale" every weekend nearly all year long. After a few months it did start to annoy her to constantly have business style traffic & parking issues every weekend, but she never did do anything to report him and he is still doing it to this day, although she has now moved.
Or if we want to get all paranoid some T(or other store) employee trying to shut you down after seeing all their discounted products. Though that seems like a stretch. Then again I did have a K-Mart employee stop at my garage sale and recognize me from the good ole double Q days. She was very friendly though and the only thing left in my basement from then was a bunch of paper plates I wasn't selling anyways.

For the puree, I don't add sugar there either - and I do it in the blender or food processor. It's not quite as watery as rhubarb and not as thick as jam. Maybe more like a thick syrup consistency?

Right now, there's a great banana pancake recipe on this blog [blogspot.com] - and some other great pancake (and various) recipes. Here's a pancake recipe that uses leftover oatmeal [blogspot.com] - YUMMMYYYYY!! I can personally recommend almost every recipe in this blog - we've made most or been the beneficiary of a shared meal of most of the things on this blog.
Man... now I need to do some cooking...
Where was I??? *laugh*
Frozen fruit - oh yes.... do it! Cantaloupe, watermelon, grapes - these are my kids' favorite treats when frozen. I like them when frozen, but the texture is funny to me when they start to thaw (for the grapes especially). But my kids love it as a frozen treat. Watermelon does get watery as it thaws - but these things are good if used in smoothies or eaten when still frozen. Peaches and nectarines are good too. I haven't tried kiwi or plums yet. Banana's are great frozen (if you freeze them with the peel on, it will turn a dark brown/black - but it's still yummy inside), but they do get very mushy when defrosting (which is great if you want to make banana bread with them and don't want to mash 'em - just defrost and squeeze out of the peel!) MMM... now I"m thinking about frozen bananas... you could cut 'em in half, slip a popsicle stick in, freeze, then take out and unpeel for a nifty frozen treat (made even better if dipped in some melted chocolate and sprinkles/nuts...)

Me neither on the sugar....Aldi had .99/lb strawberries again this week so I will be pureeing plenty more, maybe some jam too
No bananas for us here
Have not tried the yogurt 'popsicles' but boy oh boy those yoplait whips are superb frozen!
Freezer Jam recipe: it's on of those that's kind of 'passed down' so here goes....
4 lbs. strawberries
2 C. sugar
1-2 tablespoons lemon juice
Cut up strawberries, place in large saucepan with sugar and lemon juice. Heat to rolling boil, let boil for at least 5-10 min. then let simmer for another 30-45 min. or so on low heat.
There are some recipes on allrecipes.com that are very similar but call for more sugar - like 4 cups or so

Oh, I so adore mangoes too!! Okay, any fruit. I just like fruit.
Thanks for the freezer jam recipe - I've never done freezer jam before, but I may have to start.
Rusty cast iron isn't hard to salvage. You can either sand blast it, or put it in the oven, and put the oven through a cleaning cycle.
The cast iron I use has been passed down in the family for several generations. It's OLD. The oldest pieces are probably 150 years old. It's still as good as new. You can tell the difference, though; it's a lot heavier than the newer stuff.
I have many sizes of skillets, pans, a dutch oven, griddles- you name it.
Food tastes best when it's cooked in cast iron.
ETA: Just read back and saw you were talking about strawberries. Same there. Smushy but yummy.
I overslept by an hour and had to do the mad dash to get to work, so I'm just now having coffee and trying to wake up. I feel discombobulated
Oooooh I hate it when I oversleep and have to hit the floor running!!!!! I totally understand your feeling of discombobulation .... maybe you could swap it out later with some after work innebriation
So had a great time at T yesterday then decided since I saved so uch $$ that I would take all 5 kids to see Twilight Saga Eclipse then we came home and had breakfast for dinner and I totally broke out in hives...all over! and I am still itchy this morning.
I'm almost to 33 weeks. I'm so counting it down. *laugh*
Hey when you use the frozen fruit to cook with it - in muffins or breads or whatnot ... do you decrease the amount of liquid you put in to take into account the frozen fruit?
YEAH - almost 33 weeks!!!!!!
Do any of you have kiddos who get in fights and hit one another - SIGH - we are on time out number I don't know what today .......
My "secret" recipe is to mix the pancake mix 50/50 with Jiffy corn bread. I also cut the liquids just a bit as I'm not fond of thin pancakes. And as was said already barely stir it and then let it rest for a few minutes for the liquids to soak through the rest of the dry ingredients. I also find the first pancake is never very good. The pan seems to need to be "seasoned" by the first pancake. So I only make one small one to start then load the pan up with 2 or 3 on the rest of the batches.

Anyhoo... When I was in grade school he was going through a buck-skin re-enacting phase that involved dragging around a bunch of 16' tree limbs on the top of our car to various events so we could dress like fur-traders/pioneers and sleep in Tee-pees. It actually was quite a lot of fun as a kid. The group we were in weren't too serious about being authentic and most of us just dressed in our regular clothes and ran around playing games. Ofcourse the games we played considering the event were things like Tomahawk throwing, muzzleloader shooting and ...... drumroll.... CAST IRON PAN Throwing contests.
It was a bit like horseshoes in that whoever could get there pan to land closest to the target one. However it was claimed to have been started back in the pioneer days as a contest amongst women practicing there skills at throwing their cast iron skillets at there husbands.
You know thinking back its a bit scary what all the parents we letting us do. For pity sake I was 8 years old and throwing bone handle hunting knives and large tomahawks at tree trunks. Can you imagine the damage we could have done if one had accidentally flown backwards like my son does occasionally at the bowling alley with his bowling ball?

I might try the cantelope as well if I can find a reasonable price on some ... I don't really like watermelon -- fresh or frozen -- but maybe the kids would? Like popsicles? Maybe? I can't eat grapes ... I know it sounds weird but I have washed/scrubbed/soaked grapes and whenever I eat them my throat swells, I get itching in the back of my throat & ears, and I get rashes. But I can't really be allergic to grapes because the juice of grapes is used in juice that I sometimes drink. I don't know what it is ....

Also, sometimes people also have allergies to particular food raw but then when they are cooked they are no longer a problem because the proteins cook out. Not always the case.
As dd has gotten older I make sure she is ALWAYS in the cart when we go shopping, no getting out to walk....because at that age they want to touch everything and out of sheer curiousity she is particularly interested in bananas since we have never had them in our home. She almost lost her mommy to this when she was 6 mos. old so we don't take any chances!
