I’m barely a week post-op, should be lolling around with my feet up. Instead, the Chief and I were online last night shopping for a freezer to replace the one that died on us the other day. That sorted, today has been spent trying to rescue the thawed and thawing food. Some went to our yard/handyman, more will go to friends with fridge space.
The turkey thighs are cooking and will become tetrazzini. A LOT of tetrazzini, which of course we can’t freeze. That may also go to our friends with fridge space.
Most of the frozen vegetables went into 2 enormous batches of orange soup (named for its color) and veggie-beef soup, filling my 8-quart and 12-quart pots respectively. You get 2 pics of the orange soup because first I cook all the vegetables (no oranges), then I puree everything for a nice texture.
The Chief cooked up 2 bags of no-longer-frozen peas, blenderized them, and added them to the home-made pea soup friends gave him last night. More food that won’t fit into the fridge and which we can’t freeze. 😜
Update: We got lucky - our friends had plenty of space in their fridge. We saved them a grocery trip, they saved us from having to throw out perfectly good food. Win win!
