Freezer Inventory
In the process of throwing a bunch of stuff into my pot of chicken stock, I ended up cleaning out the freezer and taking inventory. After discarding some REALLY old stuff (e.g., two veggie burgers from pre-2008; pesto from 2005 🙂 here’s what’s left in the freezer part of my refrigerator (I keep saying I’ll get a freezer chest for the basement, but after seeing this list, I’m not sure that’s a good idea).
