Stocking Sandwiches

From a woman in Pennsylvania: "Our house is stocked with children of all ages - from 6 to 17. All are in school and take their lunches. By the time I feed nine children breakfast and each comes to the kitchen to make his own lunch, it is an eternal mess! I finally figured out the answer to this after all these years.

After the family is off to school, I make up a big supply of sandwiches, put them in small plastic bags and store them in the deep freeze. I do this at my convenience.

Now, when it comes time for school, each child goes to the freezer, picks out his frozen sandwiches and plops them in his lunch bag. The sandwiches are frozen when the children leave the house, and by noon, are completely thawed.
