The day I went into labor with the second daughter we found out that our garage freezer had died and the meat was mostly thawed. So we spent the majority of my labor cooking all the meat I had bought on sale while pregnant (it was suppose to be for meals after having the baby). Thankfully we had a planned home birth so we cooked meat up until I couldn't focus anymore then shortly thereafter Emma was born and we had lots of meat to eat. : ) Oh I'm glad you caught it before the meat defrosted.

We have a HUGE chest freezer that is old as the hills and it eats up electricity. I've considered replacing it with an energy efficient model that is an upright. I have heard that the upright does not hold as much and that it is harder to keep the temperature consistent with the door opening and closing. With the chest freezer, the cold air stays at the bottom when you open it. BUT, I am so very tired of being on my head in the freezer and digging for stuff. So...let me know what you think! I'll wait to make my purchase! And I'm so glad you were blessed to catch that dead freezer just in time! Stephanie, I would love to hear if you like the upright freezer better than the chest freezer.

A friend brought over two roasts and a bag of other meat to put in our spare freezer. I just happened to go to get something out as the roasts were completely defrosted, but still cold (lucky!) I then had to call my friend to tell her (very sad). She came to collect them, cooked them, and her family ate roast meat every meal for a week!

This summer we bought a freezer (new, we couldn't find any good deals where we live) and got a much larger one for a much cheaper price simply because they didn't have the size we wanted in stock when they said they did. We actually wanted the bigger one anyways but didn't have enough money. I am so thankful for the extra space.
