"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

TIPS FOR MAKING FREEZER MEALS
• Buy meat that doesn’t need to be chopped, trimmed, or cut in any way.
• Complete meals with similar ingredients first. I did all the chicken meals first so I could divide the chicken breasts and be done with them.
• Have a big garbage bowl nearby or move your trash can close.
• I cooked the Spaghetti Noodles in the Instant Pot, then divided them between 3 bags so they can be served with the Spaghetti and Meatballs, and the Meatball Stroganoff. There will be an extra bag for them to have another meal.
