Dear Folks, This evening when I looked in my refrigerator freezer, I noticed that it was stuffed full of things I had dutifully frozen but didn't label what they were. I'm certainly going to have to take care of that tomorrow. It won't be that big of a job but if I don't do it soon, I won't be able to remember what's in those strange bundles. I won't have a problem with identifying the frozen mashed potatoes nor the individual servings of spaghetti that I continue to try to keep in stock in my freezer. But with the rest of them, I have to study them closely trying to identify each one. First thing is the homemade applesauce that I was given a couple of weeks ago. I knew if I didn't freeze it, it would grow mold any day now. Then there's the leftovers from my Mother's Day dinner--hot dogs, baked beans and hamburgers. (Note: I finished off the last of the delicious strawberry cake this evening. Oh yum!) Also, I devoured the last of the macaroni salad. To add to all of that, this evening I cut up individual portions of the chicken Deb and I had the other night. It truly amazes me how many servings I can get out of a dinner out! Deb had added her leftover chicken breast to mine and the waiter bundled it all up including the leftover baked potato that I had. The leftover chicken portions numbered eight and the leftover baked potato numbered three servings. My appetite is big but my stomach is small. Therefore, it looks like I could live off what's in my freezer right now for months to come. There's one package wrapped in aluminum foil that I can't remember when I got it. It's either Polish sausage or Italian sausage and the only thing I can remember is that my neighbor Ken's parents brought it over. I wonder if it was included in my Mother's Day dinner. I'm anxious to put everything into my chest freezer and then post what's in there up on the list on my refrigerator door. Hmm, I had forgotten about the hamburgers and the baked beans. It looks like I've got a varied menu to choose from for days to come. vee

Vee, Sounds like a good plan since you know how we can't rely on our memories (except for ancestors names, who they married, where buried, etc. ;-) Evelyn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vee L.
