Apparently, you can freeze almost anything and it will still be edible in some form when you are done. Meats, cheese, bread, vegetables, fruit. All are freezable. Even, as it turns out, zucchini. As I looked up recipes for zucchini, baked good after baked good appeared. Zucchini bars, brownies, breads...all included my most dreaded wonder ingredient, zucchini. However, how to keep my plethora of zucchini for future use? I looked it up online, and shredded or sliced, zucchini is freezable to be cooked in recipes later. The catch? I had run out of freezer space.
Price and I had been talking about getting a freezer for months. But where to put it? Could we afford it? Finally, we had no choice. If we didn't get a chest freezer, soon, all of our produce that keeps growing would go to waste. So tonight we drove all the way to Target, a 45 minute drive, to get the smallest chest freezer possible. And for the reasonably low price of $171 (including tax) we became the proud owners of a 3.5 cubic foot freezer. And can maybe seat that fourth person at our kitchen table now. So freeze your food, if you have the room.
