Oh gods...

don't even go here!

I have a large chest freezer and I just KNOW that I need to go thru it
and throw away stuff that is 3 to 5 years old and freezer burned...

and the day before trash pickup so my yard won't smell like a rotting
carcass. :-(

Plan is to ORGANIZE the freezer!

I have several milk crates now and will number them, and put up a chalk
or dry erase board with the crate numbers, what is in them and WHEN the
items were put in there!

That way I can do more meal planning and not waste stuff. :-(

I want to have the space here to get another range veal........

Best damned beef I ever had. Weanling Brangus calf on range with momma
cow, 500 lbs. on the hoof. ;-d
Dressed out to about 230 lbs.
