MY LABELING SYSTEM
I have my own system for labeling homemade freezer meals.
Forget calling them "Veal Parmigiana" or "Turkey Loaf" or "Beef Pot Pie."
If you look in my freezer you’ll see "Whatever," "Anything," "I Don’t Know," and, my favorite, "Food."
That way when I ask my husband what he

Finally I turned to see what was so funny.

Remember Robin Williams in that hilarious movie, "Mom Forever?"
