Amazon is back up to full speed. I ordered a couple things last night, it arrived an hour ago with standard free shipping. The guy had his van full of boxes, busy day. Onward on blue-ray out today, no need for cinemas!


Btw what is the oldest thing in your freezer? I cleaned out the back/bottom of the freezer today and the winner was some tv dinner with an expiry date of 2001. It's a mystery how it got in there considering I didn't even move to Canada until 2002 and this is the 3rd place we're living in since I immigrated. A shameful garbage back full of old crystallized mess.

The USDA recommends tossing uncooked roasts, steaks, and chops after a year in the freezer, and uncooked ground meat after just 4 months. Meanwhile, frozen cooked meat should go after 3 months. When vacuum-sealed and properly stored in the freezer, fish can last for as long as two years. Vegetables will last in the freezer from three months to a year depending on what they are. Bread will keep for three to six months in a freezer, but flavors can begin to dull after a month.

I found a bag of frozen cross buns in the back from 2013. Some of the bananas (in the back) that were frozen to make banana bread were completely flat, nothing left but mummified skin, The fridge has the same problem, too big. Have some pickles from 2009 for your burgers.


Maybe it's the stress from the pandemic yet eating habits have gotten worse instead of using the extra time to make healthier meals. All the easy little effort stuff gets eaten first, fresh vegetables are mostly ignored. (Which the kids refuse to eat anyway, can't hit them though or send to bed hungry...) The oven and microwave do most of the work nowadays.
