How to Clean Out Your Deep Freezer

1. Spend the previous 3 months stalking the meat sales and filling up freezer with a minimum of half a cow, 25 chickens and two pig tenderloins.

2. Go on vacation for 6 days. The 6 hottest days of the year.

3. Come home and notice the drool from freezer in hot garage.

4. Throw out hundreds of dollars of food. Mutter nice curse words.

5. Get to tenderloin. Not so nice curse words.

6. "Hello, Sister Taylor!" Stop muttering curse words until nice neighbor girl leaves garage.

7. Try singing Mary Poppins "Spoon Full of Sugar."

8. Get shoe stuck in sticky Otter Pop juice. Start cursing again.

9. Serve spaghetti and Prego sauce for dinner without meat.

    I feel for your loss - same thing happened to us a few years back - but because of a power loss....

    Vegetarian diets are good - for a day or two!

    Ohhhhhh, ohhhhhh, ahhhhh...Yikes...There would have been a string of nasty words flying out of my mouth too, how absolutely frustrating! {and disgusting to clean I am sure!} Sounds like something that would happen to me...

    Spoiled tenderloin never hurt anyone.

    Love, love, love that picture.

    So sorry about your freezer. Sucks.

    BTW, the book arrived today (the H.W's one!). I'm still waiting for the other package to get out here.

    A new follower and thanks for the sweet comments on Ch-Ch-Changes. No not good genes nor a young bride just near sighted so I tend not to notice what's in the mirror.
    The same thing happened to me with the freezer and though I stomped around muttering and moaning about all the labor and time that had gone into my garden vegetables(oh and there's that nice venison tenderloin that my brother gave me),it was nice for the next month or so. I could actually go to the deep freeze and find something without having to dig. We'll see how long it takes to fill it again. The house is moderately empty with the youngest back in college so maybe I can keep it manageable, at least till the holidays.

The Most Dreaded Words

 Everybody knows that Christmas is about keeping the Santa Secret and pleasing your children. Therefore, the most dreaded words are uttered on Christmas Eve. "I changed my mind, I want a [pony, scooter, bike, Red Rider BB gun]" A close second place winner is, "Can I have a New Year's Eve party?" Then, "Me, too?"

Too Sick to be Sick

I am sick.  Really and truly sick.  I even took a sick day and felt no guilt whatsoever that maybe I wasn't sick enough to have a "sick day."  Because I am.  My 5 year old was sick, too so I took him to the doctor.  I refuse to acknowledge that I'm sick because I don't get sick.  So with absolute glee, my little boy climbed up onto the table, stuck out his tongue and conversed with the doctor.  I heard something about cloudy ears and antibiotics and then I just turned it off. It hurts when sound reaches my eardrums. We drove back home, I turned on the television, brought in the dog, and let the babysitting begin.  I crawled back into bed and swam somewhere between consciousness and unconsciousness.  The kids came home from school.  I might have acknowledged them.  I made chicken noodle soup from scratch.  I couldn't even think.  My husband caught me in a sway and asked what he could do.  I grunted some terse instructi...

What We Eat

Check out the good looking crew.  Just to clarify.  I'm the pretty one. There's a little mountain resort in Northern Utah that is invaded every July by this group of people. We are an intimidating bunch. 5 years ago my brother brought his Nepalese bride to the United States.  She lived in a country where she had no expectation to ever drive a car.  She bought her food daily from the market and ate it.  She taught English, although her accent was so strong when she arrived I questioned her grasp of the language.  We tried to be friendly and accepting.  We ended up scaring the daylights out of her. She thought we were crazy.  Her words, not mine. Although I think she tolerated me a little better than the others because I had the brand new fair-haired baby that she continued to steal.  She wanted a blond haired, blue eyed baby and wondered what her chances were now that she married an American. We take turns cooking for the family dinners. ...
