I found THIS in the freezer. I didn't put it there (must have been the "other" half), because I would have used this TOOL TIP: Label your food before it goes into the freezer! I use a Sharpie pen, but I don't stop there - I COLOR CODE the packages, using a GREEN pen for spring, RED for summer, Yellow for autumn, and BLACK for winter. This way I always know (within three months, give or take) the "born-on" date of any item in my freezer. RULE! I never eat more than 2 shades out of season. For example, today is June 26, so I know I can eat Green and Black packages, but I would NEVER eat a Red package, and that's the "2 season" rule in a nutshell. Now the package in the first picture presented a problem, because it's clearly meat, and meat's money. What to do? TOOL TIP: When facing the unknowable, tame it with the unthinkable. You can see the result the second picture. "When a cook cooks, cook." Enjoy!
