Our refrigerator is not refrigerating. It’s a funny thing to admit when my husband sells appliances for a living. I have threatened to call my dealer to figure out what’s wrong with it, but fortunately for me he’s sitting at my dinner table each night. While we await the part that should fix it, we are borrowing a refrigerator from his store to keep our food. It’s in the garage, which changes things more than I imagined it would.
I am convinced that anyone who struggles with too much snacking should permanently move their refrigerator to the garage. Impulse eating rather loses its momentum when you have to trek into a 95º garage to grab a quick bite. Or if you’re a grazer, you might go hunting for ice cream in the freezer, only to find there is no spoon on hand. It’s deflating, but an effective reminder that you really don’t need it!
Of course there are gliches in my refrigerator-in-the-garage plan. Mostly, it is not practical when you’re cooking dinner. I suppose we could have one refrigerator in the kitchen for cooking, and one in the garage for snacking. But somehow that logic is a bit too premeditated for impulsive eaters.
Perhaps it would be best to stick with the tried-and-true method. Don’t bring the bad stuff home from the grocery store, and you can keep your refrigerator in the kitchen where it belongs.
LOL, love it. When we moved up here we had our old Fridge in the garage for a week while we were waiting for the new one to be delivered. What a pain! But you are right, I often decided it was too much work to go get a snack when it meant I had to wade through the mountain of boxes to the fridge on the other side of them. :)
