All he wanted was a chest fridge. . .

And since we're not ready to do the kitchen remodel, we just bought the freezer on sale, remember?

So this afternoon we made sixty burritos to fill up one section. Five bags of ten went in the downstairs fridge, and one bag upstairs.

Tomorrow morning early (before we drive to Alexandria to retrieve Liza, who has been riding herd on her cousins for the last three days) we're heading over to the Eastern Shore to pick a bushel or so of peaches. James is wandering around singing, "Moving out to the country. Gonna eat me alot of peaches. . ." The farm where we're going has a few other things to offer, so we'll probably come back with a good load of produce. Tomorrow afternoon is booked for slicing peaches to freeze on trays. Once they're frozen, we'll load the slices into gallon freezer bags and stash them in one of the sections. Pureed watermelon will be frozen in ice cube trays to use for popsicles or smoothies later.

And then, while we're down in Alexandria, we're going to visit Rob's neighborhood oriental market for gyoza, noodles and red bean buns.

Sunday we'll be making lumpia. We have five boxes of approximately 30 wrappers each, so I'm not sure how many lumpia we'll be rolling!

And I think James is planning on making enchiladas to freeze on Monday or Tuesday.

Hmmm, . . . I thought we got a freezer so we could store the harvest from our garden. We may have to get a much larger freezer to be the freezer next year (after getting the new beds planted). We'll just convert this one to the fridge at that point. How did we ever live with only the 5 cu. ft freezer above the fridge???

(I know "stuff" expands to fill the available space, but I didn't know it would expand this quickly! -"For efficiency")
