So yesterday, I attacked this miniature Arctic.
Amazing the things you find.... My son was delighted with a strawberry popsicle I unearthed, and slurped it down while asking for a cup of tea to warm him up. I discovered plastic pots of risotto I made for my youngest son when he was in the early days of eating solids. I found a single freezer-burnt hamburger patty. There were 4 different kinds of pastry too, and I don't use pastry much. Plus a whole stack of burritos. I have to ask why the manufacturers of burritos always put either 6 or 10 in a package. 6 is too few for a family of 4, but 10 is too many. So I always end up buying the 10, using 8 of them, and shoving the other 2 in the freezer for next time. But do I remember they're in there? No, of course not. So there were about 15 packages of 2 burritos in there.
There were several almost-empty packets of frozen veggies too. I excavated these and used them in last night's dinner (don't tell the 4 year old...). Now the freezer is clean and there is a ton of space in there for new delights. Not more old burritos, although I'm sure a few will sneak their way in there again.
What treasures have you unearthed in the back of your refrigerator/freezer?
This is hysterical.
ReplyDeleteRight now my freezer is full of fish and moosemeat (which I used to like, but don't anymore).
I haven't dug into the far depths in a long time, but I always find a few single, totally freezer burned, veggie burgers...
Wow, you must have a big freezer. Mine's tiny. There's barely room for ice trays, let alone all of that.
ReplyDeleteI have a small freezer, and I thought I don't really lose anything in it. It's not as small as Sarah's, though.
ReplyDeleteI just went to take a look through it, and realized that I'd sorta-forgot about the package of turkey breast that I got at the store a week ago.
The inventory also includes:
processed hash-brown type potato patties
'Tasty taters' brand tater tots
store-bought banana muffins
4 servings of little caesar's pizza in ziplock bags.
kernel corn
supermarket packages of:, extra lean ground beef, boneless chicken breast, beef stewing cubes.
2 prepackages hamburger patties
3 slices of bread, including one crust slice
4 'chicken tournedos' from the store freezer section
5 servings of filet mignon also from the supermarket freezer section.
