Goodbye, Cold Friend

deadfridge2010_06

The refrig had a sudden attack and died. No warning. No sounds. Just woke up one morning to water on the floor.

This happened last Thursday. Of all the food items I lost, I'm sad about the two cartons of mascarpone cream that I was going to use to make frosting. Oh well, a big trip to Trader Joe's can fix that problem.

Just another reminder to eat your ice cream first.

A new fridge should arrive Wednesday so I'm out for this week's TWD (sorry, Pink Stripes) but hope to fill my fridge with the essentials: butter, cream, buttermilk, milk, butter, cream cheese, butter, and ice cream. Oh yeah, maybe some veggies too. ;)

  2. Ugghh, sorry to hear that. Same thing happened to me about 6-8 months ago. Of course they can never have the one you want "in stock" so you can take it right home with you!

  6. It's always sad when you lose a large appliance but there is something nice about starting over with a nice, clean refrigerator. Have fun filling it and I can't wait to see your mascarpone frosting!

  9. So sad! Ours refrigerator did that same thing once and the saddest thing was losing all the breast milk I had stored for when I returned to work. Sorry if that's gross on a food blog . . . but that's what babies eat!
