We haven’t really had a freezer dedicated to pork, so when brother-in-law John was able to get one for free from his school, we jumped at it. As far as they knew, the only thing wrong with it was that the spring loaded lid wasn’t spring loaded anymore, and it was hitting kids on the head. We didn’t think this was a problem (we have hard heads perhaps?!) So after sitting in John’s old trailer for a few weeks until it made the trip to our place, we got it manuvered into Grandma’s newly-housecleaned-just-for-the-occasion “woodshed”. We plugged it in, and put in a few boxes of meat.
A few days later..
Grandma went to get something out of the freezer, and it didn’t feel cold. After a through checking over, it seemed like the freezer would run and then cut out, and certainly wasn’t actually freezing anything! So after farming out the meat to several freezers (thanks Bob and Andrea), and ordering a new one from good old Sears, the new one has been delivered and is now full. (and frozen!)
The bottom line is that we now have a fair bit of pork in the freezer on a regular basis. So if you are looking for something to eat for supper, stop in a grab something!!
