  I agree, Nan. The trick is to do it when it gets colder. After a while I've gotten used to cooler temperatures in my house -- well, a couple of degrees cooler anyway. I also have a woodburning fireplace to keep my living room cozier.

  Fifteen beans?! I'm having a hard time naming 8 or 9 types of beans. And I assume you mean 15 types, not 15 beans, though the latter would surely reduce calorie intake!

We have a local food production company called SouthWest Produce that do the work for freezing fresh local vegetable for you! They pick, clean, cut, blanch and freeze in 8 pound bags, and I now have enough variety for several months! The brussels sprout are the best I've ever had!
