I am attempting to empty our freezer, except for the duck (More on the duck later.). I do this a couple times a year, although I’m not sure what motivates me. Is it that the food needs to be used before it becomes covered with freezer burn? Is it that we will soon make a trip to Costco to stock up, and we need the space? Or what?
This week I gave away the loaf of white bread someone had given us. I used the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a chicken and biscuit meal (I won’t make it again.), and I used the frozen peas and carrots in the same entrée.
At last count, there are two Banquet® pot pies (For Earl), one stuffed chicken entre, some frozen cheese, leftover peas and carrots, and the duck.
We got the duck as a Christmas gift. I actually like duck, but it can be a mess to prepare in one’s oven. So I’m waiting until we fire up the grill to cook it. At the rate the seasons are going, it could be June.
This means our freezer will still house one duck and an ice pack the size of a small blanket when I have accomplished my goal.
