Title: I Have a Problem
Post by: JZ on September 26, 2012, 09:16:48 PM
My "fish" freezer is full of Spring (King), Coho (Silvers) and Halibut (Halibut ;D) from this summer.

My "food" freezer is full of overflow fish that the "fish" freezer couldn't hold plus the recent sausage and jerky I made, a side of pork I bought from the neighbor and some other food stuff the wife put in there. ::)

and my Beer / Sausage fridge has 10 lbs of lean ground pork, 10 lbs of lean ground beef, 17 lbs of pork loin that I got today (because it was on sale);D , my first batch of belly bacon that is still curing and of course some beer.  ;)

So now what? I have to make sausage (because I bought 20 lbs of ground meat today) and probably some back bacon (cause I have the loin) and I have no place to freeze this stuff afterwards. I made a little room in the beer / sausage fridge by removing some of the beer cans (and gutting them) but that doesn't solve the lack of freezer room issue.  ::)

MY NAME IS JOHN ..........  AND I AM ADDICTED TO SAUSAGE!!!!

No a bad problem to have. The way I see it you just have to stop the wife putting stuff in your freezers ;D.

Sounds like an extra freezer might be a good idea. ;) ;D

I thought about that  ...... but the way it works with us, is that stuff goes into the freezer and not much comes out. Once a year we go through it and throw out about half of the stuff because it is freezer burned. So if I got another freezer I would have twice as much to throw out. ::)

Catching fish is fun, and making sausage is fun, but if you are catching fish and making sausage faster than you can eat them, you should consider either (a) bringing home fewer fish and making less sausage, or (b) giving away some of your fish and sausage.  It's a shame to throw away either fish or sausage.

The sausage always gets eaten  ;D and we never throw out fish. What we don't eat, can or smoke goes to our daughter, neighbors and friends :) and they are very happy to take it. The wife is going to start canning next week and I will smoke some and ship it to our adult kids. That will free up some room.

The stuff that gets turfed is usually old buns, bread, frozen veggies that were opened and not used up before they got buried and some meat that was not used in time and also got buried.

I've got it! colder weather is coming....move the beer to the outside fridge. (the porch) move some of the frozen sausage to the beer fridge to thaw for eating. then throw out all the wifes stuff and you will have room for the fresh stuff  ;D ;D ;D
I love logistics  :D

LOL!  Love the logic!

Great idea and I believe I have an improvement. Just throw out the wife's stuff and forget about moving the other stuff around and if she asks where something is ..... I just say I moved some things around and what she is looking for is at the bottom. ::);D

QuoteBut if you move just a few of your beers it shows sacrifice on your part and keeps you out of the dawg house  ::)

The beers have been moved ... but they never made it to the front porch. However the sacrifice has been made. ::)

I will take some fish off your hands for you! Send some my way.

I think that by the time the fish made it to your place it would be better used for fertilizer or to put in someones vehicle that you don't like.  ;)

I got a start on the fish problem .... trading some with my neighbor for a thanksgiving turkey. :)

The beer never was a problem and certainly isn't after last night.  ::)
