fridge follies

Our refrigerator is busted, but the freezer is still working. Weird, I know. The repair guy said that for our model fridge, it’s pretty common. Ugh. We’re having to toss a lot more food than we thought as most of our home made condiments are growing mold after 4 days at 50-60 F, not the recommended 37 F. Yey preservatives? We’ll have to check everything out and see if we can keep it or not once the fridge is working. Bummer.

Thanks to all my local friends who’ve offered up their coolers after my Facebook plea last night. While the repair guy is here I’ll have to move all the freezer stuff into the cooler while he’s fixing it.

I’m glad that we don’t own our unit, the more we rent the less I want to buy -as long as we have a tolerable landlord. Though it would be nice to be able to paint the walls and plant food gardens if we ever have land to do so.

In other news: I’ve signed us up for the Slow Food vs. Fast Food $5 challenge. That’s what I try and do with 95% of the meals I cook anyway!
