All my life, I’ve only had one refrigerator. I am organized, I managed it. Even when holidays came around, pre-made pies, fruit salads, etc., found a spot. Beverages were put in an ice chest for the day and folks could help themselves.
Then I met my husband. I inherited six refrigerators and one meat freezer. In order, they are . . .
1 half-sized fridge built into in the kitchen poolhouse. I never really new it existed until I smelled something out there and discovered one of the kids had put Popsicles in the fridge part rather than the freezer part and they melted.
1 full-sized side-by-side in the poolhouse. Rarely anything in it. We stocked it up with halibut and salmon once we had shipped home from Alaska.
1 full-sized side-by-side in the kitchen. This is a big stainless monster. I like it. Serves me well.
1 sub-zero built-in in the kitchen. This is a great fridge for misc. beverages, fruits and vegetables. Everything stays crisp and cold.
1 mini fridge in the barn. Typically this is unused accept for fishing bait. Worms and junk are forgotten in here. I long stopped going near it.
1 meat freezer in the garage. The last of “Roast” and “Beef” our two cows we raised, are stored in here. Along with a lamb we had butchered. My husband’s many Schwann’s sugar-free Popsicles also reside in here. This fridge is going to have to have a major clean out and organization due to the six lambs we currently have grazing in our pasture . . . and whose final home will be in this freezer.
1 full-sized side-by-side in the garage. The Beverage Fridge. I never thought I’d actually have a beverage fridge. This one houses water, beer and pop. I really don’t need it because I don’t drink beer or pop. But I like water. The freezer section is where I keep leftovers. This fridge is on the fritz and not keeping things as cold as they should be. But do I dare request another fridge? I think one of the other fridges should be moved here and we get rid of one of the others.
Does anyone else have a beverage fridge?
This has me cracking up at work! You really need to incorporate this into one of your books. I live in an apt but my parents have ONLY 2 fridges in their house and one is used JUST for beverages. Water, wine, beer, and thanks to my wonderful and thoughtful father, everyone’s fav type of soda.
SIX???????? Oh Man… I thought 3 was alot… I, too, have only had one most of my life. But got a new one earlier this year. I kept dry goods in the old one for a while (you should see the cubboard space( or rather,lack thereof) in this house! But a few months ago I had a (UGG) garage sale and sold my older one for $20 (I am no longer allowed to do anything but provide the items for garage sales… my sister almost clocked me when I started quoting prices for some rather expensive items… but I digress…) anyway the guy never came back with a truck for the refrigerator so it kept it’s place in the garage and now holds pots and pans, breadmaker, etc… I was also going to sell a bar refrigerator which I confiscated (it was a friend’s donation to the garage sale) and it now houses water, soft drinks, and beer…. it is a few steps from my office, where I seem to spend 18 hours a day, and in this 105 degree heat it’s seeing alot of use. How did I ever live with just one?
wow, never knew this was odd.
We have a side by side for the house, a side by side for drinks, frozen juice and cold beer/pop. we have a huge freezer to help hold some of the delicious meat you all pass over. ( ahemmmmm… It looks a bit bare.)
Sheep will be going bye-bye shortly. Happy to reload ya.
