The 'freezer'

I'm amused by this, it's a first for me.

Knowing I wouldn't be home this evening from work until well past 9 and never one for slaving over a hot stove at the best of times, I bought at lunch time, a frozen 'ready meal' for my supper. I plonked it in the boot of my car and left it until I arrived home this evening.

6 hours later........it's still frozen solid!!

I know it's cold and I know if I had considered it, it was obvious it would not defrost at minus 2-5 degrees all day, but I didn't consider it and I'm highly amused, it hasn't even begun to defrost!

Next time the freezer packs up I'll hope it's in winter! :o)

LOL...i'd love to be able to do that. I have to keep an esky in the back of the car to put my frozen and cold things in for when i have my trip to the supermarket. Living in a place where the temp 8 months of the year never falls below 25C its already half thawed out by the time i get the stuff to the car!!!

As I approach my 25th winter in Southern California I can't hardly remember winter anymore. I used to travel to trade shows and would always end up in New York in January at the Javitz to do the gift show there and welcomed those 5 or 6 days of cold winter. I once had a cab driver yell at me because I didn't bring a coat. He insisted on crossing the orange cones and driving me right up to the door of the convention center. When a police flagged us down and he told the policeman I was from S. Calif and had come to NY in the dead of winter without a coat the policeman yelled at me too and agreed that the cab driver go right up to the door and deposit me. I figured a little walk in the brisk air wouldn't hurt me but was surprised to see such caring New Yorkers, even if they were yelling at me they were at least doing it for my own good! Hope you have a fireplace!!!!! I don't think I'd do well in the cold anymore. April in Scotland was too cold for me!!!
