Disaster Relief Preparedness Is Key

Do you have that one item in the freezer that seems to have been there forever?  That last Eggo waffle, a lonely beef and bean burrito, a bag of stew veggies, or unidentified freezer-burnt meat in a Ziploc bag?

Mine is this Swanson turkey pot pie.  It’s probably been in there for going on 11 months now.  I don’t know why I don’t just throw it away.  Well actually, that’s not entirely true.  I guess you could call it my food item equivalent of disaster relief.  And by disaster, I mean my child is hungry and I pretty much don’t feel like cooking a REAL meal.
I don’t have this same problem with canned or boxed food products because there is always some sort of canned food drive or Food Bank collection drive going on which gives me an opportunity to clean out the cabinets AND give to people hungry enough to be willing to eat a six month old can of early peas and the Ramen soup flavor my son didn’t like.  And THAT’s how you multi-task charity work and cabinet organization people.  You’re welcome.
