i guess you could say that i have inherited a problem- overstocking my freezer. i am not sure if i would call it a problem, or a habit,... but today i would def call it an issue.
so after my sunday morning grocery run (which is one of my favorite parts sunday...its extremely relaxing to walk up and down every aisle, except when you are hungry. this is no good and too much money spent! something that i have learned and my bank account thanks me everytime i eat before)...anyways...i get back to the house and need to put a few items in the freezer (you know the norm- frozen veggies and meat).
sidenote...we have two freezers due to the fact that we cant fit all of the frozen foods inside the house. so we a refrig/freeze in the garage for extra drinks and food.
hoarders...im beginning to think so!
before i can place my items in the freezer, i put the bottle water in the refrig. as i open the door, i notice some grossness on the bottom of the refrig. kind of looks like spilled beer with some stickyness. so, i think, so big deal...this can just be wiped off. as i clean it up, i realized thats not what it was...i looked up and noticed that the freezer was not completley closed. automatically my mind goes, "great what nasty food of my better halfs defrosted!?!?"
another sidenote...my hubby is an avid fisherman and hunter. and when i say avid, i should say he enjoys to fish and hunt, but has really only successfully fished this year. hunting...thats a whole other story and possibly another blog post! so over the past few months, we have been lucky enough to store all of his "wild game". he would say we could eat for months off of what he has gotten, but me, i would starve for the next few months if we really had too.
ok, so now, i open up the freezer and notice that everything has been partially defrosted! wonderful...semi frozen fish, deer meat, chicken, duck and veggies. talk about a great surprise. the good thing was there was no smell attached to the nastyness (yet?!?).
what do i do know? i am faced with a few options here: start emptying the freezer out so it can be reorganized so the door can close completly, get rid of some items that have freezer burn or to wait until the hubby gets home and tell him to take care of it.
so, i did what any good wife would do...
i waited till he got home and had him clean it out as i watched!!!;)
and i made sure to tell him most of the stuff in there was his and he should really do a better job at closing the door when he is done...that probably didnt help the situation, but at least i felt good getting my two cents in!
other than keeping the freezer door closed tightly...lesson of the day- stop buying frozen food!!! we have plenty...probably enough for the whole neighborhood.
here's a lil shout out to KWAK...ghostbustas 4 eva;)
