We're finishing out this September dedicated to food storage with this final tip on freezing items as you intend to use them!
According to @foodheroca "trim, cut or portion out meat into how you’ll use it come cooking time, then package and freeze. Portion out leftovers into individual servings and package separately before freezing.
When food is frozen in one big mass, it’s less convenient to use and will likely end up sitting in the freezer until it’s no good anymore."

UPDATE: No Market Saturday!
After carefully monitoring the forecast, we've decided it's smarter to postpone our first October market until our regularly scheduled third Saturday. Never fear, though! We're planning an extra FIFTH Saturday market and will share details as soon as they're finalized.
With the potential for rain and high winds this weekend, there's a good chance some of us will lose power. When it comes to food safety, it's important to know that refrigerators will keep food cold for around four hours, if they're kept closed. If you can't keep yours closed, or you have a history of longer power outages, you may want to have some ice on hand for your cooler.

We're doing a bit of food storage myth-busting today. According to @12_tomatoes, "Contrary to what has been going around bananas don’t ripen more slowly when wrapped in foil or plastic at the stems. Multiple cooks have documented this failed hack and it simply doesn’t work."
Once your bananas are at your preferred state of ripeness, you can pop them in the fridge for a day or two to help keep them there!

Do you pack lunches? If so, what type of lunch storage do you send to school or use for yourself? Having durable, reusable food containers on hand is one way to minimize stress in the mornings (or evenings if you're a night-before person).

While the forecast for the weekend isn't quite so grim any longer, we're still postponing the first October market. And with food safety during a power outage in mind, this is a great article to bookmark for future reference.
