Good "Thirsty" Thursday, y'all.I know it's early but, I could use a good beer right now!
I know I've made it very clear that I don't care for our new refrigerator. It makes too much noise, especially the convenient water and ice cube dispenser. AND, to me, the interior isn't very ergonomic.
It couldn't have been designed by an Art Center graduate, I am sure.
A few months ago, during red beans and rice season, I froze three one gallon ziplock bags in separate slots, or racks, of the door panel.
Well, one of the plastic ziplock bags froze in such a way that it locked itself into the panel rack. The way this is designed, you can't pull out the rack away from the door panel till you unlock the plastic snaps.
A safety device for the inept, I suppose!
Frustrated after many attempts to pull the bag away from the rack, I told my wife that soon I was gonna take a hammer and a chisel to it.
Therese suggested another way, which I was not in the mood to pursue at that time. Currently, there are just too many other things that need my attention, and I just as soon, eat out!
The next morning, around 6 o'clock, I'm awakened to the drone of what sounds like a hair dryer. I guess the sound went on for a few minutes, but having been up late the night before, I decided to ignore it all and go back to sleep.
Dragging myself out of bed an hour later or so, I noticed that bag of frozen red beans was defrosting in a large pot.
"Well, I'll be damned," I thought to myself... She did it!"
The afternoon before, Tee suggested taking a hair dryer to the stuck frozen bag and melting the corner that was stuck to the rack snap. What a gal!
Guess what we had for dinner last night... Ha!
First home brewed cup!
