Eating our way out of house and home

So we're planning on going on a trip, a trip that will last for weeks.

My goal? Empty out the chest freezer before we go and let it defrost while we're gone. Who says I don't have ambition?

Yes, every meal that I make will now contain at least one previously frozen item.

It's amazing how well we're doing so far -- burritos, chickens, chicken stock, ice cream.

Tonight we're eating dumplings. (Actually, we're kind of overstocked on dumplings. Anyone care for some?)
