Some ice cubes.

One container of six cups of Luigi’s Italian Ice (purchased by myself from the frozen food section of the grocery store last July during a prickly heat fit)

Two packages of Byrd’s Eye corn on the cob ( circa 1999)

One package of Gordon’s Fish Fillet ( You would need to use carbon dating on this object to determine age.)

A piece of unidentifiable plastic ( probably came off the inside of the freezer somewhere. It’s still in there because because the minute I throw it away, the freezer will quit working costing me a big repair bill.)

One unfinished McDonald’s McFlurry ( aproximately 4 months old)

Thanks for letting me share.

Too much stuff to list, but I’ll try to remember:

Tortellini, ravioli, meatballs, burritos, waffles, chicken breasts, ground beef, every kind of vegetable, ice, assorted juices, about ten packs of bacon, chorizo, hot wings (Yes, frozen for when I’m lazy. I’m so ashamed.), fish sticks, pork loin, pot roast, tater tots and french fries.

I think that’s about it.

😉

But notice he used the plural; tatertot **s**. I fear this might have been the result of some bizarre cloning experiment gone wrong.

Hm. I think I’m going to Demo’s for dinner.

I keep all the meat and stuff in the big freezer.

THAT one has 1 tukey breast, 6 packages of boneless, skin;ess chicken breast, 4 packages of boneless beef ribs, 2 packages of boneless pork loin (I don’t like bones), at least a dozen 1-2 pound paxkages of ground chuck, 2 or 3 packages of steak of various cut, 9 pizzas (half pepperoni and half sausage), 3 pounds of orange roughy, 3 pounds of swordfish steaks, 2 pounds of crab meat, 2 roasting chickens, 15 loaves of bread dough, 4 dozen frozen rolls and 6 freezer packs for the beer coolers.

There may be more but I got too damn cold standing here looking.

Yeah aha, I’m a party animal. The only reason the Pizza Kit is in there is because I _had_ to buy one. It was for a fundraiser for my daughter’s pre-school. Kinda makes the freezer look fuller, though.

I’ve changed my mind about where I’ll be dining, too. I’m going to xploder’s house. He’s a little closer, anyway. 😃

Seven cans of FCOJ.  
Three partially used bags of gourmet coffee.  
A bag of frozen green beans.  
Two sticks of butter.  
A gallon of java almond fudge ice cream (partially eaten).  
Two trays of ice cubes.  
About a dozen Pedialyte popsicles. (I don’t have kids, at least not that live with me.)  
Two fruitcakes.  
A thingy of frozen Pillsbury cookie dough.  
An “M&M” lunchbox coldpack.  
Two bags of cranberries.  
A mostly-finished gallon of peach ice cream.  
At least two boxes of Tyson breast tenders.  
A half-used box of Mrs. T’s pierogies.  
A Tyson chicken cordon bleu.  
Some freezer-wrapped chicken tenders.  
Some frozen peas from my mom’s garden.  
About a pound and a half of badly-wrapped ground beef.  
Five boneless, skinless chicken breasts.

And a few more things in the corner that are too far back to see – could be some frozen broccoli back there.

A lot of this stuff is at least a year old and some of it as much as four years old. I obviously need to clean out the freezer. 🙂
