The depths of the deep freeze: a horror story

Well Allie, I'm basically a detective right now ... because I have solved the mystery of the disappearing Tupperware. It's been held hostage in my deep freeze. For months. In some cases, years.

To be thorough, let's inventory this properly.

Starting with bread products:
1 dozen salad rolls, white
1 dozen salad rolls, whole wheat
1 loaf cinnamon raisin bread
1 bag poppyseed bagels
3 bags English muffins, white
1 loaf of some weird chocolate cherry bread that was given to me for free
1 bag of ciabatta buns
6 raisin rolls of some kind that I don't remember buying and I definitely wouldn't eat
4 random chunks of a baguette in a Ziploc bag

Meat:
1 large package stew beef
6 chicken breasts
1 dozen hot dogs

Frozen foods (yes, it's all technically frozen, but this was purchased frozen):
2 cans iced tea concentrate
1 box vegetable spring rolls
4 bags fruit
4 popsicles, 2 freezer burnt and 2 edible

The best part:
17 somewhat unrecognizable containers of homemade food

SEVENTEEN.

Have mercy.

My best guesses -- yes, some is still good -- include corn chowder, vegetarian lasagna, meatballs, pulled pork, mac and cheese, chilli and unidentifiable crap like this:

Seven items went back downstairs. SEVEN.

To say that was cleansing for my mind, body and soul would be an understatement. So. Then, because that just wasn't enough fun, I decided I better do the kitchen freezer, too. Smaller haul, of course. It's also been cleaned fairly recently so it wasn't quite so out of hand.

Without giving the whole rundown of this mess too, suffice it to say there are some ... unnecessary extras. Like a half-eaten carton of some rainbow-magic ice cream. And since my youngest ditched dairy due to allergy, my kids haven't eaten ice cream. For FIVE MONTHS. Lord.

Now, since we're on the topic of purging, my next challenge is for both of us. #Ditch11 things that we have been holding on to but really don't need. I've read a lot of purging articles lately -- 'tis the season to resolve to do things! -- and there are lots of ideas out there to get us started, like this, this and this. You go first!
