I did get a chest freezer this summer. I have had my fill of French onion
soup for a while. Once I eat those last two it will probably be a long time
before I buy it again. My freezer is quite full at the moment, mostly with
food for Angela. Aside from my egg allergy I really don't have to eat
special food. She does. So when we find it for a good price, we stock up
on it. I also have to pack a lot of ice cream and frozen treats in there
when my husband is home because no matter how much I buy it never seems to
be enough. I do have a few things in that freezer. But most of the food is
not mine.
