Cleaning Out The Freezer

It felt like winter again today, with heavy morning rain, wind (sometimes very strong), and a high of only 11C (52F).
I stayed indoors and took the opportunity to organize the small freezer on the refrigerator (we have a larger freezer in the shed and son cares for that one).
You've no doubt heard of things that lurk at the back of the fridge - well, they can lurk in the freezer too!
I found a few items I'd forgotten about (how do you forget chocolate?!!).

Some stray blueberries became a smoothie. 

And the unwanted shrimps got fried up for my lunch.

A quick wipe-over of the freezer drawers and everything was placed neatly back again.
I feel like I've achieved something today!

  4. What a productive morning - and a great find, the milky bar that is! I remember cleaning a chest freezer once - that was embarrassing.... lets just say the compost bin was VERY full after that one! The next freezer I purchased has draws!! Much easier to keep tabs on things! Your lunch look yummy!

    1. I had to comment - a freezer with drawers is a genius design. Alas, my chest freezer is just one big “hole”. Impossible to organize - I’m jealous!

  8. Oh Margaret you did great! No kidding about things lurking - I’m terrible about marking each leftover container with what’s inside - today I had to just pull everything out and the unrecognizable ones are thawing in the sink now. Lesson learned. Love what you did with your found goodies - perfect!
