I started to make spaghetti tonight for dinner and I went to pull the meatballs I put in the sauce that I get from Trader Joe’s out of the freezer. I noticed they were soft. I felt a few other things. The popsicles. Melted. My first thought was that our freezer was broken. I opened the fridge. Nothing seemed as cold as it should be. I checked the little nobby settings…they were set at as warm as you can set them to be. For some reason, I asked Shane if it was his doing first. Why I didn’t assume it was Ethan right away, I don’t know. I then asked Ethan if he had touched “these” as I showed them to him. He said he had. What a bummer. I had to throw everything away. I don’t know when he did it. He isn’t usually in the fridge, but I know that yesterday and today I told him to close the door as he was trying to help himself to a snack. I threw away a lot. I just wasn’t sure how long it had been and the fact that the popsicles were completely liquid made me think it was a good call. The only thing is that there are two packages of frozen ground turkey that feel completely solid. Not sure if I should keep them or toss them.
So, no food in the house (payday is Friday). We ordered pizza. I have a lot of shopping to do. Thank God I didn’t have a ton of breast milk frozen in there. I think I would have cried.

As long as an item is not warmer than refrigerator temperature, it can be kept in the the fridge and used in the next day or so (like meat). But, no re-freezing.
