Upstairs, downstairs
Jul. 21st, 2011 11:21 pmMy landlord got over today and looked at my fridge. He said the freezer was fine (which I knew) and the compressor seemed to be working fine so that the problem seems to be in getting the cold air into the fridge part. For investigating that he's going to need to shut it down, which means emptying all the stuff out of the freezer. Also, he can't get back to the project until next Monday. This would at first seem Really Bad, as it leaves me without a fridge for the next few days, but happily there is a work-around. The apartment downstairs is empty this week so I am going to use its refrigerator.
Having my refrigerated food downstairs might seem like an inconvenience, but I already go up and down stairs so many times in a day I don't think I'll notice it much. Instead I've chosen to regard this as a golden opportunity to take care of all the dill seeds that scattered around the bottom of my fridge that one time a pickle jar shattered.
My domestic woes were softened by my first bean harvest of the season. Last year I got no beans at all, so this was doubly nice. I had my second dinner with beans tonight, with enough left over to go with lunch tomorrow. Thus far I have been picking from my bush beans. My Kentucky Wonder poles have been been blooming heavily this week, so assuming the heat didn't freak them out too much (a sizable if, I admit) I should have beans next week from them. I've never grown pole beans before, so I am looking forward to seeing if they are as tasty as claimed.
