George,
The "crates in the freezer" system is great. We have a big old chest
freezer that easily holds six plastic milk crates. These solve the problem
of my trying to get to the bottom of the freezer, which I cannot do because
my arms are too short. Each crate holds 27 quarts of frozen bricks of
cooked 'maters, soups, etc. or 9 home-made breads, or stacks of flattened
plastic quart bags of veggies. Yes 'um, the anal retentive perfectionists
make life easier for the rest of the household.
