Great!
Soooo.....how much stuff did you actually lose?
Well, some meatballs and some pot pies and some stuffed bell peppers and a whole bag of beef, pork and chicken that were just in those leaky containers that you get at the meat counter, you know? A whole trashbag of that kind of stuff. All of it was stuff my parents didn't want to haul down to Texas with them, and it came with the freezer.
Since the veggies were down at the bottom where the big chunk of ice was (and the gallon of ice the g'nads gave us), they were saved...were still frozen. Then there was some loaves of bread in the door...they're ok, of course and have already been refrozen.
Now I'm putting the veggies up at the top of the freezer and the meat down at the bottom, so in case this happens again, hopefully I'll catch it before the meat thaws.
