My fridge is still on the fritz.
However, MB and I decided to play mind games with it and that seems to be working.
For the moment.
We adjusted the temperature just a little higher than what it's supposed to be. When the fridge decides to super cool things, it is based on that higher temp and then everything gets super cooled to the actual temp it's supposed to be.
It's a very complicated system.
The short version is that I was able to use my lettuce today and make a delicious salad for dinner. I was also able to eat the leftover club sandwich I had in the fridge from yesterday without my tongue getting stuck to the bread.
I think it proves that we are smarter than our appliances.

Eats for Friday 3/18/11
My fridge is on the fritz right now. It's seriously limiting our ability to prepare meals and stick to any kind of plan.
The fridge is way too cold, resulting in frozen stuff in the fridge side and super frozen stuff in the freezer side. My baby carrots are like little orange rocks. Don't get me started on the pitcher of frozen iced tea. It only angers me.
We haven't been to the grocery store yet because we don't see the point in wasting money. Why buy fresh veggies that are just going to end up being frozen in my fridge.
If anyone knows how to fix this particular problem, please let me know. I can't keep living like this.
In other news, MB and I found ourselves eating out for both meals today because of the fritzy fridge and also because we don't like to drive drunk.
Yesterday, we were drinking with friends at our house and one friend needed to get back home. His home is about a half hour or so from our home. Since his wife dropped him off at our home, we let him use our car to get himself home.
This meant that we had to go get our car the next day and found ourselves hungry, searching for food. The nearest dive bar was our eatery of choice. I had soup and half a club sandwich. MB had nachos and a sub.
His nachos had celery on them. Celery. Seriously.
I can't make this stuff up.
Also, it was almost 80 degrees today so the pup and I hit the trails. What a gorgeous way to spend the afternoon.

Eats for Thursday 3/17/11
Happy St. Patrick's Day! Belated, anyway.
It wouldn't have been belated if I had been able to get myself over here and post my eats on time.
Sheesh. I'm seriously slacking.
My St. Patty's Day was pretty mild. MB made corned beef and cabbage and we had some friends over for beer and board games. Nothing too exciting. There were quite a few shots of hot sauce being consumed, but not by me.
Silly boys.
I made the choice to drink light beer, much to the chagrin of MB and the boys. It's okay. I wanted to be good with my points. I chose Yuengling Light, which is actually pretty good stuff.
I'm a beer lover and I often don't mind spending points on a mug of good beer. I only chose the light for today because I knew I'd be drinking a higher quantity.
It happens.
MB and I went out for lunch because we had some running around to do and really can't use our fridge right now. I'll talk about that tomorrow.
I hope you all had a happy St. Patrick's Day! Did you do anything exciting?
