Ugh! What a morning. I went to get my kids waffles from the freezer and they had thawed. Now I have to figure out what is salvagable and what need to be tossed. I already threw away a box of Popsicles and two half gallons of ice cream (sob!) that were liquid. Some of the meat was still really cold and frozen in the middle - do you think I can refreeze it? I have another freezer in my basement I can move some of the stuff into - there is more than I can use in the next few days and I hate to throw it all away.

I also had three meals from Dream Dinners in there - they went into my fridge and that is what we are having tonight, tomorrow and Sunday - I refuse to waste those.

What do you think about my frozen cookie dough and stuff like chicken patties - they are a little soft, but still really cold. Will they be okay if I put them in the other freezer? I think my frozen veggies should be fine - I swear sometimes they thaw on their way to the store anyway.

I think its good you caught it in time with it still being halfway frozen. You can save the meat and the chicken patties and stuff. If it is freezer burned, don't eat it. I would just plan menus around all of that stuff for the next few weeks and use it up. That sucks!
