Refrigerator is broken. I don't think I've ever actually bought a fridge before. Always had cast-offs or they came with places I got. In Los Angeles, a fridge is not included in anything. Off to the store.

You're prolly already gone... but in the event that you're not....or that you haven't picked out one yet... May I suggest the brand Frigidaire? They're awesome and they last forever.
blame it on the quake, you're covered right?

Until I get a new one though, I have to put a beverage in the freezer for like an hour before it is cold enough to be enjoyable now.
I'm leaning towards one of the Samsung French door style ones. I saw a great price on a black one today.
Does getting a black refrigerator make you gothic?
We have had our fridge for 16 years, a wedding present from her parents. I'm waiting for the day when it dies so I can get a new one with an ice maker and doors open from right to left. Sucks not having a working fridge. It must be hot over there, never been to L.A. in the summer but having a nice cold drink when you want it is a must anywhere.
If your fridge had a red interior then it might make you gothic, swap out the regular bulb and put in a red bulb.
Getting a black fridge makes you awesome:thumb:Quote:

Voltaire - SMEG do a pink retro-style fridge, beloved by Hello Kitty fans and the clinically effervescent. Or, you can just get your existing one airbrushed with snake bones and charge it to Amelia as a photoshoot prop.

Back from after hours hopping. Need to defrost old broken fridge in time for new one delivery in as little as three hours. Eating all remaining key lime pie tofutti ice cream sandwiches as part of defrosting old fridge process. Also cooking sausages & tortellini.
um, like, yum. you just inspired my dinner. I'll be adding garlic and spinach to mine with a little peccorino romano..... grazia.:thumb:Quote:

Good luck with the new fridge.

Its it amazing the culture differences between the east and west coast?
Congrats on the new fridge. Hopefully you'll feel the relief on the electric bill.
I want a fucking iced soy latte right now. Only I have no ice, due to lack of refrigeration. And I can't leave to buy ice or an iced latte because I have to be here for the delivery. I guess if I did this on a weekday, I could have sent someone to get some caffeine.
I'm having fridge envy right now. I live in a studio so apparently that means people who pay less rent get fewer appliances. My "kitchen" (and I use the term loosely) actually has an under counter mini fridge! What I wouldn't give for an icebox that held more than a carton of eggs and a couple cans of soda!

I am loving finally having some fridge space and I think so are other folks who have to use it.
That is absurd... I guess I should count my blessings for what I do have!Quote:
