that's me too! I just cleaned my freezer of all kinds of things with a layer of permafrost. Including some leftovers from my CSA But really, while rhubarb itself is ok, the only thing I like it in involves sugar and a pie crust. But I just couldnt see it go to waste last summer, so I froze it. I look at it as freezers are more efficient when full, so I am just being energy efficient

Unfortunately, frozen cookies have never slowed me down. I can eat them straight from the freezer. No defrosting necessary.

Sadly, frozen cookies don't deter me either. I love them frozen. Nice and crunchy.

Well...usually if I have a cookie craving I buy the break and bake and freeze the raw cookie dough. I have yet to eat raw cookie dough straight from the freezer

Yesterday I did a fair amount of tossing. I had bought a loaf of white french bread on sunday to go with some soup and because the kids are both on the CRAM/BRAT diet (if you dont know, dont ask) and I threw it out yesterday because french bread to me is just a butter binge waiting to happen. Well...ok it was a butter binge in progress when I threw it out. The kids will just have to eat whole grain anyway.

I started to throw out the brie too, but gave some to dd for lunch and then I was ok once the bread was gone.

Gosh that made laugh, because I threw some French bread out this morning just so I wouldn't see it tonight when I got home from work hungry and grab some butter and eat the loaf before supper....

I also throw stuff out OFTEN... I've even done the dishsoap thing...

I dont need to do dishsoap, I just take mine to the main trashcan in the garage. It is the same trashcan that the dirty diaper bags end up in. I hold my breath when I open the lid and throw stuff in and slam it closed and run back to the house before I breathe again. There has never been ANY urge to go back for the icecream cake in THAT trashcan.

I will eat frozen cookies too! I'll eat frozen cookie dough as well. I'll pretty much eat anything that hasn't been contaminated.
