The repeated defrosting cycles tend to cause freezer burn on foods pretty quickly, so I try not to keep things in my kitchen freezer for long at all. Related: A post about freezing food in glass jars. And here’s a post about freezing food odds and ends. Kristen, I have a sewing question. Your thoughts?

I found some red thread in my sewing box. And then I set up my sewing machine. So, I sewed a scrap piece of denim on the inside, using yellow thread to hide my stitching. Then I used blue thread to hand sew around the hole, to keep the hole from getting any bigger. Chiquita was interested in the spare bobbin. She got it.

Get some shoe polish and shine up those old shoes, take them to a shoe repair shop to have the re-heeled or soled if they are worn down. This used to be a common occurrence with a shoe repair shop on every main street. Learn to hem and patch and sew on buttons to repair minor issues with clothing. Use up your food.

Offer these cooking lessons and send the food home with the recipient. What a delicious gift of food! Are you a knitter, or crafter or do you know how to use a sewing machine? Offer your services by the hour or an afternoon to help with easy fixes & repairs. I keep a moderate stockpile of food and cleaning supplies.

My mom cut coupons and sewed her own clothes and mine, as well. Even though Alan was an IT professional by trade, his logical mind also understands what makes all kinds of mechanical things work, and he can repair just about everything I break. The food you will actually eat is what is worth buying!
