Freezers and Refrigerators, Part II

"If the members of your family have strongly individual tastes, or, to put it another way, are absolutely loathesome to feed, a freezer can simplify things.

"For instance, if someone likes salt-risen bread or pumpernickel and the others won't touch it, you can keep several sorts of bread frozen, if there's room left around the clothes. Frozen bread thaws so fast it's no bother. (And it's one of the few things you can refreeze without hurting it.) Just drop the frozen slices into the toaster and toast. Or, if you want to serve it untoasted, and you're hysterically anxious to thaw it out, you may hold a hot steam iron over each piece." The I Hate to Housekeep Book, by Peg Bracken, page 93
