I am trying to empty the dratted freezer. I am getting extremely fed up of the freezer. It needs to be a lot emptier to defrost sensibly. However darling father wanted to go to the nearby garden centre and I could do with picking up a few bits of meat, so I agreed to go to the farm shop.
Haigh's farm is comparatively near. It is a reasonable drive, I could get the bus but getting frozen stuff back would be a bit of a challenge. Besides, I get twitchy about meat, I like to get it into the fridge/freezer as soon as I can. So off we trundled with OH kindly driving us.
Haigh's farm has lots of meat which is locally killed, and various frozen sort-of-home-made ready meals and some frozen pies. I was really looking forward to one of the frozen pies, as I have heard great things about them. They had sold out.
Sigh. I had little bear being an absolute horror and bouncing around and darling father was being very keen - and I didn't stand a chance. I completely failed at shopping restraint. I came home with a lot of meat. I got three large brisket joints for £19.50, two meals worth of diced lamb, a meat pie for tonight (alas, not one of the famous frozen ones), sausages, a big pack of the pot herb vegetable type things and ham for little bear's dinners. Darling father and OH loaded up on the frozen ready meals. I won't be defrosting the freezer I think for another three weeks. On the other hand, I won't need much in the way of meat for another three weeks.
I shall wait and see how the meat 'eats'. I have had very good experiences, so fingers crossed. And on the bright side I can focus on using up all the frozen veg. Then all I need to do then is defrost the dratted thing and try and get the stuck drawer to work again. If that fails I shall seriously start thinking about a new freezer.
