In my freezer, that's where, along with sweet crepes, rolls, a quiche, and some chicken kievs for my husband. And can I just say, having a freezer seperate from the fridge is totally rawking my world. Actually, so is my new house, which I still haven't gotten used to.

In any case, I'm starting (yet another) meat fast, and hope to lose some of the poundage I've gained since November. Still don't have a scale, so don't know how much I've gained, but it's a lot.

At least work's going well.

Way cool Dryad! A freezer was the first thing DH and I bought when we got our first house about 15 years ago!!! I don't know how we would eat without one now. And congrats on a new house - still got that 'waking up and wondering where you are' feeling???

Dryad,

I know I'm a dolt, but does rawking = rocking?

Not sure if it's a good or bad thing, to be rawking.

I have a freezer on my list of things I want to get. Our refrigerator has a large freezer, but it is barely adequate. I love to buy in bulk - I'll be getting 36# of butter tomorrow from my food co-op. (Sorry to mention a neolithic food, butter is my only one. The rest of the family eats butter too.) I saw one at the store recently, about 14 cu. ft. upright, what kind do you guys have?

Keep us posted on the meat fast , Dryad. (and congratulations on the new house - how exciting)

The meat fast is...going. Of course, now that I have to take two buses to get to the grocery store that sells the good beef and pork, I wasn't very prepared and had to eat some cheese last night. Oh well, done better today. Hopefully I'll be able to go back Thursday afternoon and get some more meat.

Wow - 36# of butter - you do need a freezer, Alice!!!

I found I prefer the upright freezer but skip the frostless feature. It "thaws" on a cycle to keep it frostfree so you food doesn't keep as well. And when you're paying all that money for the food you won't mind cleaning out the freezer every 6 months or so. Shoot, I usually only clean it out once a year. With an upright you can find what you need much more easily than a chest so you have the door open less time - so less ice accumulation. Our experience anywhere.

Thanks for the tips, Connie. I like your thinking about the frost-free feature. Really, you have to clean it anyway. As a housework procrastinator, I appreciate having the frost level build up so that I have to defrost and get it clean. My frost-free refrigerator gets pretty dirty before I clean it. (sorry for being gross)

Dryad - keep plugging with the meat fast, we're behind you. Two buses to get meat sounds like a real pain. You're like a hunter-gatherer who has to travel a long way to find game. So, get a wooly mammoth and keep it in the new freezer.

I've stayed true to my paleo ways with one exception - blue cheese on a salad at Ruby Tuesday's. Not sure if it affected me or not, but am sure that I could have told them to leave it off and the salad would have still been delicious without it.
