    Love your site, just wanted to let you know about freezing cheese. Cheese can be frozen just wrap securely. The trick to thawing it is to let it thaw on the counter in its wrapper until it becomes oily. Sounds kinda gross but when it is oily place it in the refrigerator until completely chilled. Then it will slice as usual. If you don’t let it get oily it will crumble.

    Beans are the greatest homemade food EVER!! With some planning and some timing, they could get you thru a rough spot. Me and Hubby are 7 years into living in a( now insulated, doubled plexiglass windows) RV. You’re right. You’ve got to plan ahead, stock up, and improvise! Love your blog!!
