Our July/August Crazy Cook is Lynn from Tacoma, WA

Note from Nanci: This story was so funny to me because I was just explaining to someone the cooking day phenomenon of planning to eat out that night even though you have a freezer full of perfectly good food.

My most memorable cooking day came with a surprise ending. I think that it was the second cooking day I had tried (I've been freezer cooking for about a year and a half now) One of my abiding principles about this whole thing is that I think that at the end of the day we should go out to eat. I don't want to see anything I just cooked on a plate that day...this does pass. On this particular day my husband went to Red Lobster for take out for us. (He is a good man) As we all gathered around the table in anticipation of this feast, my husband opened the first bag. It contained a dozen cheddar biscuits....that's funny, he didn't order biscuits, well maybe they come with the meal. We opened the second bag...it also contained a dozen cheddar biscuits. As we opened each of the six bags, they all turned out to be biscuits. This was pretty bizarre. We called the restaurant. Apparently someone else was expecting biscuits and went home with our meal. It was a good thing, after a long tiring day, that my husband was the one who called the restaurant. I listened as he said calmly, "I can't possibly tell you how frustrated we are feeling at this moment. What can you do for us?" The restaurant refunded our purchase, gave us two free meal coupons, and we got to keep the biscuits. I OF COURSE froze them and they made a very nice addition to our freezer meals. We will never forget THAT cooking day!
