I peeled each banana and wrapped it in Saran Wrap. Then loaded all 6 of them in a gallon baggie and froze them. If I’m making bread, I take out 3. If my kid is making a smoothie, she can use 1 at a time. They don’t discolor much at all.
I washed all the parsley, left it to dry. Then, I put little bunches in snack sized baggies, put them in a quart size baggie and froze them. Cut up the pineapple and froze it in small baggies too.
I removed the core from the iceberg lettuce, pulled off all the bad leaves, washed it. Loaded it all in a gallon baggie with a paper towel.
Today, I took the mushrooms, celery, 3 eggplants from last week, a bag of tart apple slices and a gallon of whole milk to my friend. She will help her daughter feed her 3 Gsons who are 5, 10 & 13. Their Dad doesn’t have a job.
Now those mangoes... what a nightmare. I knew not to eat them because I’m likely allergic to them. Well... I cut one up because I thought I’d freeze them. My kid walks in the kitchen, gasps and says “Put that down Mom!” Holy Blister Batman. I have blistered skin all the way to my elbow! It’s just like poison ivy.
Today I saw my oncologist’s Physician Assistant. She took one look and put me on a topical steroid. Plus it was treatment day which includes a 40 mg dose of steroid pills. I’ll be fine thankfully but the bag of mangoes needs to leave the building. I’m not touching it tho!! My kid will need to give the mangoes to someone and clean out the fridge drawer.
