Inventory
Thanks to everyone who contacted me here or privately after reading my last journal entry. I appreciate the concern; I'm ok...I've certainly been better, but I'm ok in the sense that I'm not mired, I'm aware of my emotional level and I'm coming back up again.
Anyway, in addition to taking emotional inventory, I did an inventory of my freezer last night. I'm trying to clear out the freezer in preparation of doing some more thorough meal planning and preparing meals that can be frozen for later use. I've used that system on and off for years and have, since 1990, had an extra freezer for just that purpose. Best $150 I ever spent. I used to make lots of casseroles and that kind of thing, but these days I'm more likely to have meat frozen in a marinade than fully assembled meals.
The inventory of my freezer:
3lb. steak in fajita marinade
4 pork loin chops
1 lb. bratwurst D'Avignon
1 lb. Spanish Chorizo
5 lb chicken leg quarters
12 oz. cooked, shelled medium shrimp
24 oz uncooked, shelled large shrimp
24 oz mahi mahi filets
12 oz swordfish steaks
1 lb flank steak
2 yellow fin tuna steaks
2 3-pound pork loins
2 packages unshelled edamame
2 packages shelled edamame
4 lb. whole fryer chicken
2 loaves frozen bread dough
4 frozen pie crusts
Assorted vegetables: corn, peas, chopped onion, sliced bell peppers, snow peas, chopped spinach
