T Stands For Freezer

 

Today we are doing something a bit different for T.  Instead of showing a croissant and a drink, or mugs found at The Spice Merchant, I'm showing what's in my freezer. 

  This is my ugly refrigerator/freezer that doesn't match a single other thing in my kitchen.  Note the step stool.  It's there because I can't reach the top two shelves without it.


  I obviously didn't think it through because I was so focused on getting a fridge with a freezer on the bottom.  Yes, I am that short!  In addition to my rocking horses, I have a ton of copper.  One of these days, I'll show you my kitchen where most of it lives.  Also, for those of you who didn't know, my kitchen colors are white, copper, and cobalt blue.
 
This is what the bottom shelf of my freezer holds.  I probably should have made sure each of these bags was turned face up, but I didn't think of that until I was removing the photos from my camera.  Here are a few closer views.
 
Starting from the right,
 
it's fairly obvious my "free" monthly coffee
 
is either Black Friday, or Sumatra.  The Breakfast Blend came in the gift basket I won from The Spice Merchant.  It was ground because many people don't have the luxury of grinding their own beans each time they make a pot of coffee.  
 
The butter came from Sam's.  I use a lot of butter in my cooking.  Wrapped in a plastic bag are avocado shells and seeds I'm saving to dye fabric. 
 
The "W" stands for whole bean as opposed to "ground."  And 1/2 represents one half pound of coffee.  I am allowed one full pound a month for both shows I support.  I support all the British shows that are offered and the highest level of Antiques Road Show.  And in case you didn't know, I LOVE PBS (Public Broadcasting System) which is ad free.
 
I've shown you mine, now it's your turn to share your T entry this week.  The rules are extremely simple.  Your drink related post may be anything from a photo of a glass, cup, or mug, to an actual drink.  You may choose to share a sketch or a digital, hybrid, or traditional page in your scrapbook, art journal, or altered book, as I have done.  Maybe you'd prefer to share a tag, or wow us with your photography.  You might choose a postcard or decorated card.  You might even draw an image on a used tea bag.  Or perhaps you prefer to review a place you visited, a movie, or book.  It makes no difference as long as it's drink related.  And don't forget that the more unique and outside the box it is, the better we like it.  Please tie it back here, and please link only to your T post, not your entire blog.  When you link, Bleubeard, the T gang, and I will be by to visit.   Bleubeard would also like to remind you that your photos may be taken any time.  
 

 



Please don't forget to dig up your Second on the 2nd.  Any genre, any style, any length, as long as it has been published in the past.

That's a whole lot of coffee. And smile, I thought the breakfast blend said breakfast blood at first-ha ha. No, you are not a vampire. ( I don't think-grin:) ) Other butter, I guess you don't have anything else frozen. It makes it easy to find things Have a super T day. And see you soon at AJJ too. hugs-Erika

Thanks Honey

Now that is different! (And it's still a drink reference). And I must compliment you on your fridge/freezer. It's beautiful, even though it doesn't match your decor. Nowadays these type of fridge/freezers are very sought after in Europe. Every house wife wants one, but of course most kitchens are too small, and of on top of that they are very expensive.
I am just surprised that there is no food in your freezer, especially as you live alone. (with cats). Cooking for one is not convenient and even though I cook from recipes for one, it's always too much and I will eat half and freeze half of my meal.
Happy T-Day,
Lisca.

As a coffee lover, I am VERY impressed with your coffee collection. It looks like it should last you for a while too. Happy T stands for Tuesday!

A wonderful refrigerator. And so much coffee in it. You seems you are a caffeine junkie LOL. I did not know that one can freeze the coffee beans. Have a good time and all the best

I like the French style of refrigerator like you have with the freezer on the bottom. That is a lot of coffee. You could be a Barista and open up your own coffee shop. Happy T Day

I have this same refrigerator. Although I must say as organized as I am you are even more so. I also have this same brand of butter in my freezer. LOL You are well stocked for coffee. Thank you for hosting and have a lovely day.

I got rid of my freezer on the bottom fridge, I didn't get rid of it, it died!!
I have my freezer on the top and I am THAT short as well.It holds lots of frozen fruit for baking along with scones that are homemade and ready to bake when desired. It has frozen herbs and lemons and limes.
I also have a upright small freezer in my pantry and that has lots of butter too. It also has the extras of homemade sauces and soup stocks.
