same_skyI have mentioned before that we freeze leftovers from dinner so that we have a ready supply of lunches. It used to be just M that ate them but I eat some of them now that I'm home, and also now that I am off the evil metformin that made me constantly queasy and ruined a great deal of my favorite dishes. Anyway! Our house came with an ancient freezer in the basement. They were planning to haul it off to the dump, I think, but we asked them to leave it, and they were more than happy to oblige. Thanks in part to TWO batches of M's Lunch Slop of Total Awesomeness, we are very well stocked right now. My sweetie husband decided this weekend that he couldn't think of anything he wanted to do more than defrost the freezer downstairs, so he cleaned it all up and organized all the shelves. I was not involved in this project AT ALL, which is a beautiful, beautiful thing. It wasn't even my idea! What more can a woman want than a husband who cleans major appliances without prompting?
They're double stacked within each shelf, so there's almost twice as much as what you see. Top left contains random pasta dishes and the middle is random non-pasta dishes. Top right is probably chili but possibly spaghetti sauce (I try to keep all ingredients upstairs but M is not always with the program on that so we have to figure that out at some point). Second shelf on the left is M's Lunch Slop of Total Awesomeness, right is soup (cheddar vegetable there in the front, yum!) Third shelf is definitely spaghetti sauce and meat (pork). The next shelf.. well, I guess we don't have to be healthy and cook from scratch ALL the time, right? The bottom shelf is frozen vegetables and what used to be eight full pounds of burgers. M LOVES to buy in bulk, haven't I mentioned that? :)
I just had to show that off because I love love love having all of those meals stored away in the basement. There are 53 meals if I counted right. 53! What's in YOUR freezer? :)
