Yay!

It's here! It's here!
The new refrigerator arrived today and I'm thrilled! (Note: there will be liberal use of the exclamation point in this post)
The guys that delivered it were pros- quick, precise (I hadn't given much thought to doorway width), and efficient- how often does THAT happen?
Munch and I quickly got to work removing all the plastic & tape from the interior. I'd almost forgotten how large the freezer is- the bottom bin is bigger than my laundry basket!


Love the tilt-out freezer door!


I'm still playing with the configuration of the interior shelves- it's such a different layout from the old side-by-side- and trying to get used to the increased depth. I used to ALWAYS stuff the old fridge to the brim, food practically spilling out when you opened the doors!


Can't wait to get to the grocery store so I can get to work on filling it up!

Baby, It's Cold(er) Outside

RIP, My dear old refrigerator...
It had to happen- I've been home ALL week long, fridge is stuffed to the brim (well, then again, when is it not?), and I notice over the weekend (hours before I head back to work) that it just doesn't seem as cold. Crank the chill settings up a bit- a day later, still the same. And, now my frozen blueberries are getting a bit softer. At least the ground beef is still frozen solid. Crank the settings up a little more...and vacuum those coils. Doesn't seem to help. So, we make the decision that it's time to replace it (poor thing's going on 15-18 years old now!) Munch & I headed to Sears right after work today- and fell in love (I guess we rebound quickly!) with a french-door style model- the Kenmore Elite Trio. I'll actually be able to put a whole sheet pan in there, or even a Costco pizza! I can't wait for it to come home- pictures to come!
