Re: Re: There were BUGS in my 3 lb can of Sunflower Seeds

[Guest guest]

I don't even have icecubes.  I have an icemaker but the water supply to it

doesn't really have enough pressure. My DH was making ice in a portable icemaker

and putting it into the other icemaker and then it would chop it up for us. 

But somehow that isn't working now either.   It is time to change the filter,

but didn't have that much water in it so it is a time thing rather than use or

maybe did get something in it from the water.  I miss having ice.  We got a

bigger refrig and we sue got the freezer filled up fast, but can hardly find

anything in there to eat.

Freezing doesn't kill anything. So I freeze them all. I have everything in my

freezer, from coffee to rice to flour to seeds and I actually have ICE CUBES.

lol. Not too much food but I freeze everything else.
