> [@Mangetout](#): > > then please explain Our daughter was a (planned) homebirth. In Ontario at least, the afterbirth is considered medical waste, and cannot be disposed of in conventional garbage, nor can it be carried off the property without all manner of biohazard transportation permits. However, one _can_ choose to bury the thing on one’s own property (or at least, the law looks the other way). Problem is, she was born in late October and the ground was already frozen. So, we wrapped it up in about 8 plastic bags, wrote “Placenta - DO NOT EAT” across the front, and stuck it in the bottom of the chest freezer. Three years ago. Hey, we’ve been busy. ---

Important stuff in the fridge: - 17 rolls of Kodak Royal Supra 200 35mm film (the good stuff) - about 20 rolls of miscellanious Konica/Agfa etc. 35mm film (the junk that local photolab gives out, “drop 1 roll for development, get 1 free”) Unimportant stuff in the fridge: - some food and drinks. I think. I’m pretty sure there is no placenta. ---

> [@haardvark](#): > > …Three years ago. > > Hey, we’ve been busy. Ah… I thought it was going to be one of those things where the mother asks the hospital if she can take the placenta home to cook and eat (some people do this and claim it helps against post-natal depression), but then decided she wasn’t really hungry enough, well _couldn’t ever be hungry enough_. ---

Just as an update since I’m positive you all are interested, I had forgotten about (and found when I inventoried last night - yeah, I got curious. Plus I have no life.) the four frozen White Castle Cheeseburgers, the two waffles, three hash brown patties, one polish sausage (Eckrich - not my husband) and one box of Belgium chocolate samples that another boss brought me back from another business trip. **haardvark** , cool story! 😃 ---

That…makes sense…in a weird sort of way. Though I think if I had a human body part in my freezer I’d make the time to bury it. I originally thought you mgiht have been plannig something along [these lines.](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a3_104.html) Personally, if it were my freezer, I would demand more plastic bags…and then stryofoam chest on top of that…and more plastic bags…and then don’t put anything else in the freezer. It’s not that I’m squimish, or think the human body is nasty or anything, I just don’t have any desire to have medical waste near my foodstuffs. But if your not bothered by it, then by all means keep it in there till you find the time to send it to it’s final resting place…which hopefully isn’t a stew… 😉 ---

And why the human head, pray? And what the heck are otterpops? Popsicles made from otters? I have a small chest freezer, and someday I’ll have a big one. I can’t wait. ---

I’d never heard of frozen Pop Tarts until this thread! For those who freeze them: do you eat them frozen, or do you nuke/toast them first? I prefer to eat my Pop Tarts untoasted, out of the box, but now I’m wondering if there’s some cool (pun intended) frozen Pop Tart thing I’ve been missing out on… My freezer’s pretty bare at the moment: [ul] [li]1 Swanson chicken pot pie[/li][li]1 Pepperidge Farm chicken parmesan pot pie[/li][li]1 or 2 frozen chicken cordon bleus[/li][li]1 Stouffer’s beef stew[/li][li]part of a really old box of Breyer’s fruit popsicles (they’re only a little freezer burned, and are still mostly good, I just hardly ever eat them anymore)[/li][li]1 small, plastic, re-freezeable cooler thingie in the shape of an Oreo cookie (impulse purchase… :sigh: )[/li][li]1 re-freezeable first aid thingie[/li][/ul] Usually I have some Pizza Rolls, Hot Pockets, and frozen soft tacos in there. Most of the stuff I eat at home starts out frozen. One thing I _don’t_ have, though, is ice. I never have ice. I don’t even own an ice cube tray. ---

Otter Pops are essentially plastic tubes of sugary goo which, when frozen, become popsicle-like. They’ve been around for at least 30 years. \*Is it true that if you put pantyhose in the freezer, it keeps them from getting runs and snags? ---

My freezer is STOCKED! French Onion Soup, Soy Chicken Gyoza, Vegtable Bird’s Nests, Lasagna, Quiches, Frozen Berry Blend, Mochi, a roll of goat cheese. I love TJs! Plus I got their vanilla flavored coffee. It is to DIE for. Beats the crap out of the 3 buck a cup kind, especially with a dash of fresh ground cinnamon. So, I had to take out the old ice covered onion buns, 2 old ice creams, realized I have 5 pounds of butter…as well as: Home ground beef and pork in 1 lb freezer bags Omaha Steaks and burgers Bag-o- chicken tenders a bag of coconut milk 4 egg yolks 1/2 a Kielbasa Frozen tub of homemade pizza sauce. And ice packs. I always am hurting something and need ice…or to throw into a bowl to keep my champagne chilly. I love having champagne for no reason.
