Good luck with your new job Jean! I will do a happy dance for you but need to finish my coffee first.
Good luck to your husband Darcie. I am sorry you have to go through this. I hope he finds something soon

That sucks, Darcie. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed. Geekboy was out of work for a while but when he finally got a job, it was the one he always wanted. Hopefully, your hubby will get the same good luck.

Thanks everyone!
Darcie, sending my good vibes your way. Fingers crossed!!!!!
Fuzzy - I'll be a BA at a telecom company, this time in a marketing environment which will be new, I've done the operational side and the IT side though. Right in downtown TO so I will be taking a commuter train back and forth, will make for a change for me, no popping out at lunch to the grocery store, etc. But I cannot complain, happy to have landed.

I'm still chipping away at the freezer. All bones are now gone and made into stock and with the PC can't see me adding them there again. I did a clean up and sorted, had to toss one bag of chicken as it had gotten freezer burnt. But nothing there older than one year, which is a far cry from the state of it when Kathy started the first itteration of this thread on TOBB. Used a whole pork loin the other day. Cooked it in chicken broth, worchestershire and spices until I could shred it and then reheated over a few days with a pulled pork sauce for sandwiches. While not as succulent as a pork butt would be slow cooked on the bbq, this was a very good use of a huge piece of protein in my freezer that kept getting in my way.

I have also been ignoring my freezer but last weekend made a stuffed pork roast (bread, sage, dried cherries) with port wine sauce. I also used up some roasted peppers, stuffed them in a tortilla with some other stuff that was around. I am not even too sure what is in there!

I've been filling mine. Doing lots of big batch cooking on the weekends to have easy weeknight meals since I am late 3 nights a week now and this makes life easy for DH to have something ready when I get home. I am NOT making the mistake of failing to label everything though (am loving green painter's tape and a sharpie for this). My freezer looks like Martha Stewart lives here, but everything looks the same once it's frozen otherwise. So I have lots of chili, curry, soups, and pot roast in there. Next up might be some casseroles.
Now my upstairs freezer is a different story....that I will need to inventory and clean out. I know for sure I've been squirreling away bones for stock and all sorts of odds and ends in there.
