Monday Madness

1. What's on your refrigerator? (Please feel free to use a picture to answer.)

The main thing is a calendar whiteboard which has the present month on it and significant dates like what Fridays I am off, what weekend day James has to work that month and what his alternative day off is, when "Hair Day" and Myriad collation is, doctor's and vet's appointments, etc. Surrounding it we have all our magnets--some are just cute, like the "Singer for City Council" and "Booth for City Council" buttons from Remember WENN or a wooden dog that has a flip tag that says "the dog is fed" after which I penned in "but still starving." Most of them are magnets we have brought back as travel souvenirs--a Figment from the old "Journey into Imagination" ride at EPCOT, a Thurber House tile, magnets from Cape Canaveral, the New England Air Museum, and the Seashore Trolley Museum, etc. There are some from airplanes that James got at airshows. There is also a magnetic container that holds various booklets: the one for the oven, the one for the dishwasher, etc., plus the magic marker to mark the meat that goes into the freezer, and a magnetic cup that holds the dry-erase markers for the whiteboard. On the side we have magnetic hooks to hold stuff like bottle openers, a magnetic trivet, and the largest thing, a magnetic paper towel holder from the Container Store.

2. What color is your refrigerator?

Almond (I think they call it "bisque" now).

3. Is the freezer on the top, bottom or side?

Top. We want one on the bottom. We were so disappointed—we found the perfect bottom-mount freezer at Sam's, except the door opened on the wrong side. We consulted their website, and the doors all opened that way, so we sent them a note, and, because of the electronics, all the doors open from the left. Our kitchen is set up so the fridge must open on the right. Damn...

4. How old is your fridge? Does it match your stove?

It's 10 years old and may be a bit older--we got it from the Sears outlet store; it was a repossession, when we moved into the house. Yes, actually when we bought the new stove we got it in almond to match the fridge because the white stove actually cost $20 more! (Go figure.)

5. How regularly do you clean the inside of your fridge?

If a shelf or bin is empty, I wash it. It doesn't get too bad because we don't store a lot of drippy things; it's just basic washing.
