refrigerator snafu


so, i bring home a bounty of produce yesterday morning, right?

about an hour or so after, i notice that my refrigerator just does not feel cold enough. this is the refrigerator of arctic blastedness. i mean, there's a trouble spot in this fridge that i've learned to avoid--a spot wherein things will freeze if they get anywhere near it. this is my 3rd fridge in this apartment so i wasn't about to complain. the others never got cold enough and i lost food, so while some items get ruined if they freeze, it's the lesser of the two evils.

anyway, yesterday there was visible condensation on condiment jars and cartons. my goods were sweating inside the fridge. so not good. i turned up the temperature to 9--the coldest level.

after a couple of hours the situation seemed to right itself.

not so fast there, happy ending girl.

i come home tonight to a refrigerator with several frozen items (though, not all), including a good bit of my produce. i'm doing everything i can to salvage it, but some of those beautiful fruits and vegetables may not come back.
