The Freezer that Killed the Fridge
This is my freezer.
It freezes. It really really really freezes.
It freezes so much that it causes my refrigerator to shut down.
This happens everyday.
And everyday the chef or I have to remove all of the contents of our freezer (yes we really like hot dogs) and chip/& or bash the 3 inch thick ice that has frozen.
It is a lot of fun. And we go through a lot of food. We need a new fridge. However my husband, you know him as the chef, has an appliance issue. First of all he hates most appliances. Microwaves especially. So much that he put our 
microwave on the curb when we moved to Brooklyn and told me the movers lost it. They didn’t as I found out when I called bitching.
Back to the appliance issue. Basically he is at a point in his life where he wants one thing (well 2 but we don’t talk about that here;). Great kitchen appliances.
And when I say great, I don’t mean the most expensive fridge at Lowe’s. I mean this or something like this. I agree with him on this. He works his ass off and deserves appliances that he believes in and would use in his own kitchen. However our bank account is not yet able to support this kind of habit.
You would think being a chef one would have all kinds of hookup in the kitchen appliance world. If we only knew someone sponsored by a major European appliance company…

If you find a two for one deal on those, I’ll take the free one
We need a new fridge too.
Hey — I saw Chef Symon on Iron Chef America last night and thought I saw someone who looked like your chef cooking with him. Battle Rabbit? Was it him?

Yep it sure was. “Look at those knife cuts!” That’s my man:)

When I lived in Toledo on of my volunteers (I worked at a pricey private school) who took a few cooking classes and thought herself a chef had something very similar to that first fridge. Her kitchen was massive and just the appliances alone cost more than my entire house.
Also, I caught the very end of IC last night with Symon and figured your Chef was in it too, so I TiVo’d the later showing and will watch the whole thing tonight!

My chef (if he could have it way) would line our kitchen (and house) with metro racks and stainless steal. Not in this lifetime.
Good luck with the freezer.
