I know what you mean...
But, I always end up having to clean out the big deep freezer every
couple of years, and end up cooking up half of it for dog or chicken
feed as it's too freezerburned to eat. :-(
I'm going to buy a dry-erase board and hang it on the wall next to the
freezer! Someone here suggested that and I thought it was a fantastic
idea! I'm going to buy some of those plastic milk crates from wal-mart
and number them, then organize the freezer and list what is in each
basket and it's age on that board, then plan meals accordingly.
I've finally started dating the bags I freeze stuff in, so this will
work. I've got to get organized and list stuff so I stop wasting food!
I'm fixin' to clean out the freezer again here shortly.....
Cheers!
