In the airing cupboard if you have one. That's where I find missing things usually hide. Or of course in one of the dog beds.
I do not buy whole turkeys. Just their necks, gizzards, hearts and livers. Which reminds me, I am running out of hearts and livers, BUT - due to circumstances beyond my control I am now out of freezer space. Booger. She should be so lucky! I do not have an airing cupboard The only dog bed I have is mine These were bought fresh, individually bagged and frozen They were then put in a large carrier bag and packed in... ...and that is the problem because I was sure I had put them in one of the drawers in Pereg's freezer, only I could not find them when I went to take one out to defrost for her first meal today. So this morning I checked through her freezer again. No could find. Checked ThreeBees. No could find. And I knew they were not in the freezer section of The Super Apollo [f/f] as I do not keep them in there. Hadda coffee an' a sulk. Checked Pereg's freezer yet again - and they were there all the time!
I normally do that look can't find something & when go look again they are there are right staring up at me x
Ah, well, you see I use the same small bags for all smallish things, and they tend to look rather similar when frozen. And smaller amounts of things, such as 2kg turkey gizzards [or livers or hearts] are put in carrier bags - keeping each whatever together with similar size objects each in their individual bags. I had checked one carrier bag and it had chicken necks in it and when squished up they look rather like squished up turkey gizzards but when I took one out of its own bag I saw that they were necks and not gizzards There was also a load of individually bagged similar size lumps of ox lung which were not in a carrier bag as I had miscalculated the volume 2kg of ox lung took up [it is very lightweight for the volume - the top drawer is chocka full of them] which had hidden the carrier bag bag with the gizzards in. So I had to empty the drawer [the second one from the top] to find the gizzards. See? Actually Pereg would be happy to have ox lung every day with her first meal - being so light for the volume the ~40g I cut in chunks for her seems, to her, to be a lot of food and she loves it. It is also very nutritious [and cheap compared with any other form of meat] But I had not only miscalculated the ox lung there was a bit of a mix up last week with the poultry stall which had left me with only one chicken back by Thursday so Mikhaël brought me 10kg turkey necks [which I did not need as the bottom drawer of her freezer had plenty in it] instead because they had sold out of chicken backs. And she has one every evening. So the bottom draw is now full of turkey necks, as is half of the third drawer, the rest of which is now full of... ...chicken backs. Because I telephoned one of my taxi drivers and asked him to please get 10kg chicken backs from a different stall, which he did on Friday morning. Got those individually bagged and frozen [I tear them in half first], which left Pereg's freezer and ThreeBees chocka. I keep the top two sections of ThreeBees empty for fast freezing - if I can. They do not have drawers but lift up/lift down doors and are the fast freeze sections. Only yesterday evening Tirtza [Mikhaël's wife] brought round another 5kg of chicken backs... ...half of which I bagged and fast-froze overnight and packed away this morning - somehow, and the second half is now being fast-frozen. So the two top sections of ThreeBees will have to be used for frozen chicken backs as the other six drawers contain various things including the catering packs of frozen vegetables which Avner always got for me are - yes - chocka. The thing is that it is all human poultry so we share it. Mine is cooked and hers is raw, so there is now plenty for both of us for the foreseeable future. Do Not Ask
K9 is vegetarian & my other 5 JRT's hate raw meat, it as to be boiled or they will turn their noses up at it.
Thank you for reminding me Carole - I must get some fish out of ThreeBees. De Dawg is rather partial to raw fish with her veggies for her first meal... ..but roll in things? De Dawg does not "do" rolling in things. Food is for inside her not outside her!
