Somewhere in the depths of this frozen tundra could lie the remains of a dead body. I would have absolutely no idea, because it seems that things go into my freezer, but they never come out. I can't tell you how many times I have gone to the store to buy chicken with the idea of freezing it when I get home. I should have an entire Purdue chicken plant in there by now.
I wrote not too long ago about a smell that was coming from my refrigerator, I have fixed that problem. However there is an equally if not worse smell coming from the freezer. I know this is hard to do because everything is SUPPOSED TO BE FROZEN and it shouldn't have an odor.
But alas it does.
If you are anything like me your freezer looks something like this. Frozen something or others stacked on top of each other with no idea what is underneath. This is what makes finding anything difficult, and explains why I buy chicken every time I go to the grocery store. I can't tell you how much money I must have wasted buying new meats to freeze.
Take a look at this ice cream. I knew that I had two of these boxes as I just bought the ones on the left. As for the other box of ice cream sandwiches I don't know where that came from and I certainly don't have any idea when I bought it. I know that my kids love to eat ice cream so to find a whole box of sandwiches is baffling. I could be from before we had kids for all I know. Maybe I'll get lucky and no one will get sick from eating them.
But where is that odor coming from?

I think we have now found an issue. First of all fish from almost three years ago has got to be a problem right? I don't think that I have ever eaten frozen fish, unless of course we are talking fish sticks, where I have unfortunately eaten more than my share over the years. Second, take a look at the date on those garden burgers, August 05. THAT CANNOT BE GOOD.
Garden burgers are not good to begin with, six and a half year old ones, probably don't taste that much different than fresh ones, but why have these been in our freezer so long? I can't swear by this, but I think they bought when we had ANOTHER FREEZER. Countless Power outages through the years and a transfer between freezers have certainly taken their toll on these burger wannabes. Out they go.
Now we all know that the only reason I removed anything out there aside from the smell, was to put things in there that are really important. I know my kids could care less about frozen meats or vegetables, I don't even know if they know what a vegetable is, and the next time they beg me for a steak will be the first. The only things that they care about are frozen waffles and chicken nuggets.
Chicken?! More frozen chicken.
