re: Fz peas , peas and carrots etc :
some of my open bags have been neglected in the past.
i found its helpful to add then to cold water , then more cold water until
they thaw in the cold water . I wait some and most of them get rehydrated.
then I cook
I personally wish I knew what my risk factor would get getting

ist small and they dont have many tables
their take out service will keep them going until the dynamics improve
I can afford to visit them fairly often , as mentioned above
to inject funds into their and the local economy.
and the duck noodle greenpeper corn dish is a taste of Heaven
