New Freezer

We thought we could get by with our new refrig freezer side my side combo. But you have to budget your freezer space carefully if you expect to make it with one of these. Yes I know those in my audience that are dealing with apartment sized refridgs don't have any sympathy. We have gained a new since sympathy for even you.. We have been contained by not buying big bundles of food that we won't use for awhile.. Like Marie Calendar Pot Pies.. or large quantities of frozen dinners. Its been in the freezer and used within one month.. the exception has been some purchases before we became aware of the limitations.. we have a shaft of frozen salmon patties, we have a chicken rice Costco casserole and of course you keep your nuts (unlike Jessie) in the freezer.. almond and walnut.

Then this fruit crop arrived. I have been doing one freezer bag a day with the white peaches and they are starting to pile up. Today was another pie filling day. Who doesn't like a scoop of ice cream or one of a couple of kinds. A stand alone freezer makes that more of a happening.

We have been "shopping" for the right sized one. The last one was too big. It was donated to the men's rescue mission. So a small one was in order. At first we were interested in a chest freezer. But alas they do not defrost themselves. So only the uprights seem to do that. Sears had the best selection. We have waited our turn to have it delivered (delivery free on a rebate) and today they delivered.. still have to wait until tomorrow to fill it.

We got a card from the girls group that went south. We were impressed. We are looking forward to going south to the UCLA CTA Summer Institute the first week of August.. coming soon. We have a lot to do until then.

I have heard through the grapeline that others in the family have enjoyed the movie Momma Mia and are recommending it to the rest. Music from ABBA. I hope that I can get Sue out to see this today.

Love to all
