Several trays of ice cubes, a bag of shrimp, some chocolate chips, Blue Ice, Bed Buddies, Tofutti Cuties, Popsicles, ice cream, Lean Cuisines, and some bags of veggies.
What are _you_ freezing?

Ice cubes, natch. Several bags of frozen veggies, including one bag of frozen okra that I’m not sure how it got in there. Two cartons of Breyer’s “Carb Aware” ice cream. (Shut up.) Three pounds of hamburger. Several freezer bags of frozen baby food cubes (I think we got peaches, asparagus, green beans, squash, and sweet potatoes in there right now). One of those “frosty mugs” that you freeze to keep cold. A bottle of vodka. One box of Mrs. T’s pierogis.
I think that’s it.

Ice cube tray that makes long skinny ice (nice for putting in water bottles)
Ice cube tray that makes star shaped ice
½ bag of ice from the grocery store
2 star shaped things you freeze and put in your kids lunch box to keep their sanwiches cold
1/4 bottle Absolut
½ bag of frozen spinach
small box of frozen spinach
½ bag of frozen peas
most of a bag of frozen mixed veggies
1 lbs butter (now in fridge as I thought we were out)
Box of baking soda
packet of Okie Dokie Artichoke Lemon Parsley ravioli
4 lbs of ground beef
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
5 lbs thick cut bacon
2½ lbs beef fillets
3 lbs extra thick cut pork chops
1 lbs shrimp
one ice pack for when you sprain you ankle
Mind you, this is all in the little freezer that in attached to the fridge. I do good at packing the freezer.
What we _don’t_ have in our freezer is **blueberries**. For the first 9 years we had this random packet of frozen blueberries in our freezer. We’re not even sure how it got there as we never made or planned to make anything with blueberries. For the longest time I wouldn’t throw them out thinking I might bring upon myself the wrath of the frozen produce diety. Then about a year ago, I got brave and threw them out. Nothing bad happened. I no long believe in the frozen produce god.

Our 1970s (original-to-the-apartment, as is the dishwasher and the oven; our clothes washer and dryer are of matching vintage and style, but our own) refrigerator came with a brand-new aftermarket icemaker, which we never ever use because it goes KACLANK in the middle of the night. So our freezer contains
two ice cube trays, a crapload of Otterpops, some eye of round steaks, a few extra-thin sirloins, some unbreaded chicken breast fillets, two blue icee things for putting in coolers, a box of fish sticks, some broccoli, and a chocolate bar.

Sheesh, I’m almost embarassed to post this. I’m not 100% sure what’s in the freezer, but it’s a lot. From memory:
Couple each:
Salmon filets
Tuna filets
Hamburgers
Bratwurst
Hot dogs (I never buy the darn things - friends forced them on me after a barbecue)
Chicken breast tenders
Partial bag of shrimp
1 lb. salmon patties
1 lb. butter
2 lbs. cranberries
2 lbs. blueberries
Various kinds of bread (maybe 3 different ones, but not full loaves)
A few bagels
2 lbs. bread crumbs, which I bought for some insane recipe
A jar of homemade pesto, I think
Edamame
Snow peas
Slivered almonds
Walnuts
Hazelnuts
Poppy seeds
The whole door is filled with herbs and spices, because I buy them at various ethnic groceries in insane quantities (why buy the stale supermarket ones in 1/2 oz. bottles when for the same money, you can buy 4 oz. or 8 oz.?):
Herbes de Provence
Marjoram
Dill
Tarragon
Thyme
Nutmeg, whole and ground
Cinnamon sticks
Cumin
Saffron
Chili powder
Cumin, whole and ground
Coriander
Sumac
Fenugreek, seeds and leaves
Turmeric
Garam masala
Curry powder
Black peppercorns
Szechuan peppercorns
Zattar
And this is a small, over-the-fridge freezer, not a chest freezer.

Ice
Three frozen chicken cordon bleus
Three frozen chicken kievs
One pound of bratwurst
One ziploc bag with three bratwurst in it
One box of hazelnut candy from Europe (one of my guys from work brought it for me when he came back from a business trip)
Three boxes of various chocolate thingies from when my son worked at Morkes Chocolates (there are two large rings - the ring part is milk chocolate and the “stone” is white chocolate that he got me for my birthday and for Mother’s Day, and a tool box made of dark chocolate with white chocolate “tools” inside the box that he got for Mr2U for Father’s Day)
A box of popsicles (cherry, orange and grape of course)
Two pounds of butter
A package of Ballpark hot dogs (they plump when ya cook 'em!)
A frozen Jewel Chef’s Kitchen Thin-n-Crispy Sausage Pizza
A half eaten box of Texas Toast (with cheese)
Two packages of chicken leg quarters
A bag of chicken tenders
A box of fish fillets (we trust the Gorton’s Fisherman!)
A bag of Tater Tots (well Tater Treats - they’re the store brand so they cannot have the “tot” designation, apparently)
One carton of Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
One carton of Double Fudge Brownie Ice Cream (we don’t eat that much ice cream as a rule, but it was buy one get one free at Jewel last week)
One Kids Cuisine frozen meal which the kid does not want to eat
Chili
The remains of chicken bones from Sunday’s dinner (Mr2U doesn’t want them in the garbage cause dog will eat them - or in the trash in the garage cause it’ll smell so we put them in a bag we got from going grocery shopping and then stick it in the freezer until garbage day)
An ice pack/packet/thingamajig that is supposed to go in Mini2U’s lunch bag but he doesn’t use it. So it sits.
A bag of corn.
A box of Green Giant broccoli and cheese
FlavorIce thingies. I’m not sure what they’re called, cause Popsicles they ain’t - but they’re the liquid thingies you freeze, then you snip off the end and push up the frozen stuff through the top of the plastic - they are shaped kinda like paint stirrers - Aw hell, you would know what I’m talking about if ya saw one.
