This time of the year I'm usually trying to empty my freezers. I have three, one huge chest freezer, another much smaller chest freezer, and one upright freezer.
Smallest one is half empty - it really is very very small, so we useit mainly to store ice cream (which we usually have more than excess amounts...) and if there's room, bread.
The big chest freezer is for meat, chicken and big container of berries. It has four hanging baskets which keeps all "consumables" like yeast, ginger, pastries and pasties, a tub of ice cream (because it's a bit warmer place so ice cream is soft), half bags of veggies, half bags of toast and other breads, coconut flakes and other nuts, coffee...
And then the upright freezer. It has EVERYTHING. Fish. Butter. Cheese. Berries. Fruits. Pastry and puffy dough. Mushrooms. Mushrooms. Vegetables. Mushrooms. Freezer meals (usually leftovers packed in margarine tubs). Mushrooms. Ice cubes. Sausages, ham, shredded ham. Surimi. Kebab meat. Maybe some mushrooms?
Ok, I might just got a bit over the top with the mushrooms, there is only one basket full of mushrooms left (there was about 3 just before Christmas at the end of the foraging season).
So as you can imagine I NEED to get some more space in freezers! I'm not getting another one...
So, today we are most likely to have a pork stir fry; pork, green beans, mangoldi stalks, zucchini from the freezer. I might fry some mushrooms to go with the stir fry, but I can't use mushrooms in the fry becaus hb can't eat mushrooms. I have a lot of green leaves of garlic in the veggie plot, so I use those as well. I have some bell peppers in the fridge. There's yellow rice already in the fridge, and some noodles, so I have no need to cook any carbs.
Yesterday we had chicken wings (well, not me), yellow rice, fried mushrooms and green beans and corn. What did we had a day before? Can't remember! Oh, ham! I bought a small ham right after Christmas (on sale) and I was suposed to cook it on Easter, but we had so much other stuff I decided not. I was supposed to cook it n Midsummer, but we had so much other stuff I decided not. But now even d was home, so there were six people eating so it was a perfect time to cook it. We ate ham for several days.
So, maybe tomorrow I will need to go shopping for some fresh items, like eggs and mayo - but nothing for the freezer... I promise?
