This morning I measured out all the meat for the meals over the next 2 months and vacuum packed it. I needed some help getting all of it to the deep freeze so I enlisted my first (and last) born.
Luke took one look at the freezer and decided it was time for a good defrosting. The garage was hot and Luke was sweating like a pig, but his arms and hands were cold. I guess on the average he was comfortable.
He dug and scraped frost for an hour or so. It was like a treasure hunt. Items found: 2 turkeys, 5 bags of chicken breasts all unopened, 6 packages of fajita meat brought back from San Antonio (every time we go I bring home a cooler full - - don't want to run out and have to go back. Oh wait....), 14 bags of frozen vegetables (some with a sell by date in 2007, I am not kidding,), various unidentified bags of what used to be meat (must have been before my Seal a Meal days), and 7 bags of french fries.
I was not thinking about my blog (imagine that) so I didn't get a before picture. But here's the after shot.
I'll be glad to hire him out. He does very good work.
I love a clean freezer! (Luke insisted that the inside freezer be cleaned as well, so I'm a happy camper!)
