I used to find lots of interesting things at Big Lots, neat boxes, gardening
gloves, and exotic prepared foods; but the stores in Tennessee are changing
their style, and price. More floor space, lots of badly made furniture,
much higher prices. Kind of like a very, very, downmarket KMart. And that
is pretty down.

That vacuum thing sounds great. What is it called, where can I get one?
I just froze some blackberries spread out on a cookie sheet and thawed a few
a couple of days later. Outstanding, could not tell they had been frozen at
all. But I am thinking that with all the air in the container I then put
them in, freezer burn will set in quickly and the quality will not be there.
