That’s not a typo. We didn’t have any beef and bean-related frights if that’s what you were thinking. actually, it’s our fridge. A bit over a year ago our old fridge died a horrid death. It was Memorial Day weekend as I recall, and we had to do some work to find the replacement. And replace it we did!

In fact, I have absolutely loved the replacement (despite the refrigerator-sized price tag) for more than a year. Until the freezer temperature started skyrocketing last week. All the alarms and readouts and other lovely electronics on the inside door panel suddenly started going apeshit. For reals.

I was all goedekers.com, here I come (or here I .com for the lighthearted among you). Luckily, though, it was all related to the frequent power blips we experience up here in horse country, and the little beast just needed a good old fashioned reset. That being the ol’ pull it out and push it in of the power plug. 

And once again… we have ice.
