It's Time To Play WhatsThatInYourFreezer Wednesday!

Game show contestants - Put your thinking caps on and start your engines!!!



Left side of chest freezer - Level I



Hello! And welcome to WhatsThatInYourFreezer Wednesday, an exciting new web phenomenon-menon of its own making.

Are you ready to play?

WhatsThatInYourFreezer Wednesday is brought to you by the letter “D” for Denny, who in his infinite wisdom decreed that I must edit the contents of our freezer forthwith or suffer the consequences!



Right side basket of chest freezer - Level 1

Pretty scary huh? Suffering consequences... Well I have firsthand knowledge how much that bites the big one! Let me tell you. I don’t like suffering consequences if this past year with breast cancer is anything to go by.

For the first time on national internet (thank you Al Gore for inventing it), I will show you the interior of our chest freezer and the freezer connected to our ice box - along with all the permafrost science experiments contained within – cooked and uncooked. Oh such treasures!



Right side of chest freezer - Level 2

But back to Denny. He’s told me I must freezer dive or have all budgets cut due to LOF (Lack of Funding). He shared that any new blog projects must either consist of the gazillions of recipes I’ve already photographed but haven’t had time to write about, or - and that’s a BIG O-R, I must freezer dive for the contents of our meal – and the subsequent post.



Side-By-Side

He wants all pre-1982 food gone within the month! Within the month! Pre-1982! What's he thinking?

Dammitjanet!

How can I possibly meet such steep guidelines? He said I am not allowed to add one more item TO the freezer without first making at least 2 withdrawals. That way, he explained, I should have the contents of the freezer emptied and defrosted by the end of - well, have you ever heard of the twelfth of never?

Whatevah will I do? I’m a DFSW with a dilemma of Scahlett proportions.

Well, I’m issuing a challenge to myself and to you, if you’re willing to play along with me!? I’m making lemonade outta lemons! We’re gonna play WhatsThatInYourFreezer Wednesdays!



Side-By-Side Door

Every Wednesday by 9am (except today of course since I only thought of this game 30 minutes ago out of desperation). I will post what I found in the deep freeze (Deep Freeze, sounds like a rap star).

You may give your input about what I should make or do with the item and I will pick the best idea and make something from it or with it. You have until 3:30pm, the same day, to give your suggestions.

You can assume I have a wide variety of staples like garlic, onion, green onion, red bell peppers, salad stuff, spinach, cauliflower – that sort of thing. I also have vast amounts of condiments, herbs, spices, vinegars, and olive oil – also ghee and butter and some bacon grease.

baby, Skeeter

Please understand, “Cramming it where the sun won’t shine” – will not be construed as a healthy or acceptable input in this establishment or for the purposes of this game.

The “Boys”, you remember our boys Budy, Tony, Kevin, Schylling, their little dog WeeWee and WeeWee’s little baby, Skeeter, already helpfully suggested that! Do I make myself clear on this?

I will post the resulting recipe or menu item by Friday of the same week. Hey, I have to have time to put the photos together and write about the adventure, don’t I? Additionally, I will create a new tabbed section (hopefully I still remember how to do that) titled Freezer Diving and every time I Freezer Dive, I will post a photo of the resulting meal/dish. My goal is to freezer dive at least 3 meals per week until the entire contents of all frozen foods are gone from the premises.

G-O-N-E, gone.

Or until I am. Which could be a distinct possibility! Maybe that’s why we need more freezer space? I still have nightmares about Kevin dispatching me to sleep wit da fishes!

Okay! Let’s get started!
