Repeat after me
It's just food, if it goes bad, it can be replaced.

It's just the gutters, the house isn't going to fall down.

If it's just sour milk, then buttermilk pancakes can be made.
(or Yorkshire pudding, or waffles, or...)

Wishing you well. :)

It would be an entire fridge worth of stuff going off because the refrigerator broke yesterday. Bah.

That utterly sucks. It's like when I had six pounds of ground beef from Kroger the other week and it was all recalled, only we'd eaten about half of it already.

OK, it's not really like that, because a whole fridge full is a huge loss. Same thing happened to my mother this summer; maybe it's contagious? She lost everything, too. The stuff in the freezer can be refrozen if there are still ice crystals in it, for what that's worth.

If I had a pot of money, I'd buy you more food. Do you need to come to dinner? Don't go hungry, love.

I've actually been quite virtuous today and have canned the stuff in danger of going past its point, and turned a good bit into soup. Everything else is in coolers, so it's coldish, just not frozen anymore. It'll pass for now.

Compost. Food that goes bad is compost. Gardens love compost.

(Note that I am not a gardener. And I tend to pick off the mold and eat stuff anyway, but I don't recommend that to my friends.)

Inviat is right. Losing a freezer/refrigerator full of food sucks. I had that happen once. There wasn't much in there, but I really did not want to lose certain things.

Dad always took the bar of cheese and stripped off the outside when it showed mold. I picked up this habit, too, since blocks of cheese are harder to penetrate than other kinds and other kinds of foods.

Good luck, and I'm rootin' for ya! Glad you could save some stuff, too.

She's also right: gardens love compost, especially fruit and vegetable stuff including peels and egg shells and coffee grounds. I'm not sure about meats, though.

I *think* you have to do a special type of compost with special worms to compost meat, but I'm not 100% on that.
