Awwww, rats. I went to make a nummy omelette and salad for lunch, only to find that my precious (and disgustingly expensive) lettuce, green onions and parsley had frozen in my new-to-me fridge.→[More:]Yes, I've been adjusting the coldness level, but the damned thing's still freezing stuff. I managed to salvage enough for lunch, but I'm so disappointed. Salad stuff is really pricey here, especially in winter, so I picked some up as a special treat. Now most of it is compost. *sigh* Tell me happy lunch tales, bunnies, or whatever random silliness strikes your fancy. It's the only remedy. (Whuffles also welcome.)

My fridge freezes most everything in the back half. Grrr.

Holy shit. I hope my eggs aren't frozen. *checks* Oh for pity's sake. Well, I'm beating the crap outta them, so hopefully they'll be fine once they've thawed out.

*double sigh*

Awww, that's so sad! Limp, expensive, and sad.

*whuffle*

Random silliness: the gliders now love to jump on my hand and lick me, but... then they pee on me.

Hee. That's funny.

Dammit, even my artichoke hearts are frozen. That's it. I'm having a cocktail while I wait for my goddamned eggs to thaw.

I wasted my lunch hour stuck in a traffic tie-up this afternoon. I love Highway 101.

You should have made a veggie smoothie.
With vodka.

Mine does this too! I keep making it warmer and warmer in there. Yesterday my mayo was frozen (gross!) and a week ago our gliders' baby food was frozen...

No offense, but ewwwwwwww, lettuce and green onion smoothie? Nope. I'm fighting a cold, so my vodka's going in oj. At least vodka's supposed to be frozen.

Also, there's a reason they don't freeze eggs. *opens a can of soup*

Isn't Marin great goml?

Oh, and yeah, locale is so important in the fridge. back against the back where the coils are is always gonna be the coldest...

eekacat, there seems to be no rhyme or reason. Some food in the door is frozen, others not. Ditto all the shelves. It's very confusing. I'm sure there's a pattern, but I'm hanging on to the random cruelty of fate theory for now. It takes less effort.
