What did you save in your freezer?

Right now, there’s some red curry paste that’s been there for years. Even if thawed, it wouldn’t be paste any more. There was some purple cabbage in there for more than a year. Turkey and goose bones. I don’t want to think about it.

The item that stands forth in my memory the most is our wedding cake. We took it out after a year, really looking forward to eating it. Boy! Were we disappointed! It was all freezer burned and yuck! It had been a good cake, too, not just your ordinary wedding cake.

Years later I put another cake in the freezer—one that was very, very rich and complicated. It, too, stayed there more than a year, but I had wrapped it in enough plastic wrap that it was still ok!
