I actually don't like keeping a totally full freezer. I have a stupid side
by side. Much easier with those things when they are not totally full. But
whatever I get, it will likely come from Costco. I've been looking at a few
things that I want but have no room for.

In this house, smoothies are generally a spring/summer food.

I also have a problem with people telling me we are out of something when
we're not. This is most likely how there was so much fruit. Somebody pitched
a fit the other day that we were out of chicken strips. We weren't. There
were actually FOUR bags of them in there, including what I'd bought that
day. Makes it hard when I am out shopping and I get a panicky call or text
telling me that we are totally out of something. I also found two open
bottles of ketchup in the fridge.
