BBQ at Tree Docs' on Saturday!! For gosh sake don't buy a new freezer ... folks don't forget the barley sodas' and sides ... Hope you've got a few places to pitch a few tents 'cause the circus is coming to town!
Don't worry, we'll ponder the solution to your problem over a cold one and some of those backstraps.
Now these are the type of problems friends are there for!
TD, Make sure and take care of the little lady for tossing the stuff out before you got home. That had to be a stomach turning experience. I have picked up a frig from a clients abandoned rental house that contained a turkey for about 30 days w/o power. WRITE OFF! Fortunately, it sounds like you caught this early enough where some of these other suggestions may work.
Good luck!
