Freezer Stories

Peter Hartlaub's column inspired me to take a look in my freezer and (maybe later) excavate.





Dear Peter Hartlaub,

See how beautiful my freezer looks when the door is closed, with postcards friends sent me in 2019?  The second picture is of how it looks inside, revealing a freezer story that tells itself and tells on me.

I bake a lot, and if I have leftover cake and cookies, instead of sitting down and eating them all on the spot the way I used to do--or giving them away to the homeless, who've been known to say "No, thank you"-- I freeze them to use in trifle, which I make once a year.  For animal welfare and the environment, I'm now making a version free of dairy and eggs but full of Kahlua-doused chocolate pudding and topped with whipped coconut cream and sliced almonds

Of course, this doesn't explain why I have so many bags of corn and edamame.  You’ve inspired me to do a freezer make-over. 

Thank you,
Tina Martin

I don't think this is the kind of community-provided bench the SF Chronicle was talking about today in its article https://www.sfchronic...
