Show And Tell... What's In Your Freezer?

Lauren of The Mental Pause Chronicles has been dieting and exercising, like many of us have since we rang in the New Year. Big Hair Envy has challenged dieters to reveal the ugly secrets of what we have hidden in our freezers. Here, I must admit that we have two freezers. One is free standing and one is attached to the refrigerator. I must admit they both have pretty healthy looking freezers full of food. Let's go see what the Snooty household freezer has.


Uh-Oh. The first thing I see is actually a hangover leftover from the holidays. I have not touched this gold box until I took this picture. Mr. Snoots loves this locally made Texas pecan (Flea: Look Away!) toffee and it really is to die for. Good thing I don't often have a sweet tooth or that stuff would have already disappeared and would now be resting in the area of my stomach and double chin. Yes, those are two of the most unattractive places to gain weight. Welcome to my world.


Ahhhh... Now here is a wonderful little secret I will let you in on. Haagen Daas lemon or lime sorbet is one of my favorite desserts, as long as it has a shot of tequila poured over it. It almost tastes like you're eating a margarita and the best part is that this fabulous dessert is only a total of 281 calories.





Mainly, we have salmon, tuna steaks, shrimp, Tilapia, Red Snapper, veal chops, Sea Bass, elk meat (that a friend gave us) and rack of lamb. You won't see any frozen veggies aside from black eyed peas and early sweet peas because I can't stand frozen or canned vegetables. Of course, they are great in a pinch. I just never get in that big a pinch. I like my veggies fresh.



The white bags are actually full of a dozen pork tamales each. My housekeeper makes them for us. Unfortunately, we can't seem to eat them quite fast enough. I'm sure those are diet tamales, right? Again, these are things that Mr. Skinny Snooty likes.






The items you see in the door are Mr. (skinny booty) Snooty's. I wouldn't touch them even if I weren't on a diet. That stuff makes me want to blow chunks. He thinks those nasty little White Castle cheeseburgers are good. Blech! He can have them. If I were starving, I MIGHT eat them, but probably not.





Now, on to the other freezer. This is the scary one. I try to never open this freezer unless I absolutely have to. It's filled with naughty food items, so you dieters might want to look the other way or just skip over this part entirely. This is what it's like to diet when you live with a skinny man. I still have to fix meals that he will enjoy as well. Luckily, he eats a big meal at lunch when he goes out with friends and associates. Sounds like fun, doesn't? I rarely get to indulge in such frivolous acts as going out to lunch... even when I'm not dieting.

First, we have an abundant supply of (OH NO!) Creme Brulee. Yes, I know. It has taken every ounce of my willpower not to stick one of these babies into the oven. These. Are. To. Die. For. Mr. Snoots loves them and has them whenever he feels like it. Why? Because he's skinny and he can. Grrrr!

Otherwise, the remaining items are pretty innocuous. Green hatch chiles (always low in calories), tortillas, pie crusts, and mostly items that are used in dishes that I make. Oh, and more white bags of homemade pork tamales. I guess we need to get busy on those, huh?

I guess you'd say my dieting is all about fresh vegetables and charcoal grilled fish. I could live on fresh salads and grilled fish for an indefinite period of time.

Soooooo... This is what it's like to diet and live with a skinny man who has never had to diet or exercise in his entire life. A peek inside my freezers doesn't exactly look like I'm dieting, but this is what my diet world looks like. It was much worse when the kids were still at home. It calls for extreme self control, which is never as simple as it sounds.
