It is my old refrigerator/freezer that I moved into the garage when its ice maker quit. I use it mostly as a chest drawer freezer and a beer cooler. He seemed happy with the arrangement, but in the past three weeks, I noticed that I needed to recycle the settings to keep him cool and happy. When my beer is warm, I can tell something is wrong. I told him that I knew I had been ignoring him lately, but asked if he couldn't hang on for a few more weeks. He didn't say a thing and just seemed to smile as he sat silently, holding all my thawing meats in his belly.
So tonight I had to scrub a large cooler and fill it with the thawing meats. It is a lot of meat. I don't know what I will do with it. Some can refreeze in the kitchen freezer. Maybe I will have a post-hurricane party and cook it all.
Third-world problems are the best problems to have.

Friends ask friends to share their meat frozen storage. And then cook it with them after the emergency is resolved.

Too much meat to find a home in someone else's freezer but it will be shared and eaten. Strange menu: Prime rib roasts, lamb chops, beef and pork tenderloins, hamburgers, hot dogs, corned beef brisket, and lots of chicken breasts and chicken wings. It will have to be a big party.

Cook the stuff that goes green twice as long.

I suppose there's no dry ice available. You need dry ice to keep things frozen, water ice isn't cold enough.

It may come in handy if your neighborhood gets hit with a nuclear blast. George Lucas and Steven Spielberg wouldn't lie. I am just trying to be helpful.
