I opened the frozen vegetables. I dumped them out. And I found this:
That is a huge chunk of cardboard! CARD.BOARD. Since when is that a stew vegetable?!
And, psssst... I totally put these vegetables in the stew and fed it to my family. Surely any cooties were killed by the freezing and subsequent boiling. It's not like it was a big chunk of anthrax or anything...
