With the weather finally cooling off it’s a time to stock the freezer and go into semi-hibernation, especially if you have the appropriate DVD collection to support such a venture. Perhaps it’s a result of growing up in small town a long way from supermarkets, or because of my slightly squirrelly tendencies, but I always feel somewhat calm if I can picture a freezer full of meals or even potential meals.
Please don’t get me wrong, I am not one of those modern ladies with a freezer full of lean cuisine and half a carton of lite white in the fridge, I have a snaplock bag fetish and a domestically dutiful streak. I feel it is obligatory to have the means to provide something nourishing at the click of my fingers. This means at best having the ingredients to feed a group of four at the ring of the telephone, and at least having a meal for one at the last lazy minute.
Of course my fiance has no idea the bounty I have been building for him over the holidays, dated and labelled snaplock bags filled with cookies, soups, pasta bake and leftover homemade pizza, so that he won’t feel so neglected when I go back to work. I feel an overwhelming sense of pride at the prospect of “having it all”, being a career girl with a well fed family.
