After my brother in law died his family had offered us the use of the cottage
he had lived in. We had some visitors for the prairies and decided one morning
to go up and spend a few days at the cottage so that our friends could
experience cottage country. When we arrived the place was pretty hot inside
and there was a stench coming from the kitchen. It seems that one of my
nephews had been up on the weekend and had defrosted the freezer. He had put
everything back into the freezer but forgot to turn it on again.

Luckily, it had only been 3-4 days. Everything perishable had to be thrown
out, but it's a good thing that we had arrived when he did. Otherwise, that
rotten meat would have been so ripe that we would have never got it clean
enough to use again.

Ohhhh, so it wasn't purely to confuse me! LOL! We all know who you are
now.

No, no, my girl - we just need to tweak our old model a bit. A Mountie
blind,as it were. Our old model had some serious rump wagging, IIRC,
and come hither techniques. What the *modern* Mountie blind requires
is Stealth technology. We go into Stealth mode...and grab 'em!

So, when's the Mountie Roundup this year <blink! blink! blink!>

Well, that old model wasn't my design - someone named Damsel or Barb
got involved and added the derriere bit.

The Stealth mode appeals to me, though. Invisible is good. The
Mountie Roundup hasn't been scheduled - I have a new boss and have to
stick close to home for a while. ;-)

I once bought a frozen turkey, intending to put it in the freezer when I
got home. It rolled out of the bag and hid under the seat of my minivan.
I forgot that I bought the turkey, parked the car in the driveway, full
sun, for over a week.

I almost keeled over from the stench when I finally opened the van door.
Luckily, all of the "juice" was contained in the plastic wrappings and
bags.

I worked for a lawyer who had the same thing happen with a package of
lamb chops. Somehow, I think the lamb would smell worse than the
turkey. LOL.

My brother had a similar thing happen with a jar of kimchee.
Unfortunately, the pressure of continued fermentation did cause the
jar to leak.

Still, I think the turkey/lamb would be worse. At least kimchee is
supposed to smell rotten ;>

Ugh. A number of years back I'd made crab dip for the office
Christmas pot luck ... Well, I put the leftovers on the plate right
into a plastic bag to transport home. Into the trunk Ran some
errands, blah blah blah, forgot *all* about it. My car started
smelling less and less ... fresh ... as weeks went by.

When I found the cause, I threw out the bag, plate and all. Didn't
even dare open it.
