That little gem of economic insight has indeed infiltrated memory
banks here in the deep north of the deep south. Now, pass the crap!:-)

ObFood: Finally got around to my biennial defrost of the fridge
freezer last Sunday. Only took about 6 hours for the iceberg to
dislodge too.

Found some rump steak in the back of the unit. The zip-lock pack was
dated 6 Jan 2007. I've got a piece defrosting at the moment. It
*looks* okay (still a good colour and no obvious freezer burn) and if
it passes the smell test I'm going to chuck it in the frying pan and
see what it tastes like when cooked. (I do have a reserve option for
dinner though.

If I'm still here tomorrow, and if I remember, I'll report results.
In the meantime, as it seems likely I already have some crap at my
end, you needn't bother with my request for the moment thank you. :-)

Cheers, Phred.
