Vee, I don't think you are headed for a support group just yet. Recipe collecting, marathon cooking, freezer defrosting (my parents' chest freezer is a similar case) -- all this sounds healthy! Good for you for tackling it. And isn't it a rite of Spring? I myself am staying home today to really clean my house (oh, yes... my wonderful mother-in-law and family are coming Friday to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday, so I get no points for housewifery!). Defrosting a freezer is a clear sign of virtue, though. Good luck and don't forget to rinse with baking soda water. Mary Hess
