Freezer Clean Out

[dede]

Oh is it a breed of cow?

[Halex]

Dont know but they serve it in top restaurants, our butcher supplies it to restaurants wholesale. They cut sizes ie 250g then if they have under 250 left they sell it. We all  love it. Its very expensive, but he sells itboffcat $29.95 per kg

Love wagyu

soooooooooooo good

I had a quick google Hally and found it to be a Breed of cow that has been in Australia for around 20 year, Looks much like a black Angus to me. But apparently the meat is marbled with fat (Like a scotch fillet steak) but all through the meat.

"The
great thing about Wagyu beef is that even though the meat is heavily marbled with
intramuscular fat, this type of fat is of the ‘good’ or unsaturated kind"

Oh so the answer to your question is...................I don't know (I didn't see the cow) But it is highly unlikely I would think.

I understand the freezer issues.  We have several freezers,  2 upright with drawers.  Each draw has a different food, frozen berries in one ,butter and cheese in another and so on.  This all quite manageable but the trouble is with the big bench one.  the kids call this Jurassic park.!!! Like Hally I keep different foods,  mostly meat in separate containers.  I have a catalogue of what and how many item are in each container.  So 6 chickens, 4 roast beef, etc.  My biggest problem is to stop buying more.  When we have visitors we often have a roast.  As most of our friends are a family of 1 or 2 ,  they hardly ever cook a roast. This is one of the reasons i don't do many main meals from the Forum. We also have 2 freezers on top of the 2 fridges.  These contain leftovers , ice cream and ice blocks.  Bol. sauce and the bread of the moment also reside in these freezers,  I know this sounds over the top, but earlier on this year i emptied another bench freezer.  My aim is to empty the big freezer by next year.  I know I have a problem ,  but I am trying to deal with it.  My advice is don't buy any more freezers'  unless like dede you are going to need to store a lot of produce or like us,  you live a long way from the shops.

So glad you have a problem too, i did not need to make the apricot preserve but i did, it’s in the freezer now. i really need to stop cooking.

Yes Chookie it can be a problem. Our freezer in the garage doesn't have a great deal in it at the moment so It shouldn't be to hard to sort out. We usually try to rotate the meats so the oldest stuff is at the top so it gets used first. Its so easy to forget what you have where. I am pretty good at labeling everything thats in the freezer so if I want some porterhouse steak I dont accidentally get some casserole steak out instead  .
As for our other freezer that is an upright freezer that mainly has veggies, fruit, chicken, deli meats, bread, icecream etc.

Chookie, i am a terrrible hoarder, need to have pantry, fridge, freezer full just in case.

For the 3 of us i have too much freezer space, but would dearly love another one.

I try to keep my kitchen 1 as my daily workng one. Have given boys instructions not to put anything in freezers without askng me first, in the hope that i know where everything is.

Good luck on running it all down
