I recently decided to follow Aimee's lead and incorporate nu-tri-tion into my family's meals. Last week I spent a really, really long time steaming and pureeing a butternut squash, a food that I have never in my life willingly ingested. I stacked about a million little plastic containers of pureed squash in my freezer, where they awaited their introduction into spaghetti sauces and applesauce muffins.
A few days later, my freezer died.
Do you think that I'm going to dare to put pureed vegetables into the shiny new freezer that we'll be purchasing tonight?
Not a chance.
So should we go with stainless steel? It's pretty but I'm wondering if, since we are a household with children, it would just end up all smudged.
Incidentally, you know it's going to be bad when the repairman comes in, sees your non-functioning refrigerator, and says, "Huh. Frig.i.daire." Then he says, "How old is it?" and you say, "Seven years," and he says, "Uh huh." Who woulda guess that would be a bad brand of refrigerator? It has the word "frigde" right in its name! I think someone owes me an apology.
Also -- because apparently I just can't shut up about my refrigerator -- I am some kind of bad grocery shopper. In cleaning out the old, stupid fridge I found THREE bottles of mustard, two jars of mayonnaise, two bottles of Hershey's syrup, two jars of apricot preseves (which no one in my family likes) and three squeezie things of lemon juice. I vow to treat my shiny new fridge much better!

Happy new fridge shopping and stocking.
And oh yeah, I have a butternut squash too, but its been sitting on the counter for almost two weeks. Doesn't help much there, does it?
