prepping a little release
practicing a talk for friday
making slides for saturday talk
i did not need to add any more to the list.

but…

our fridge just died 😩

or something. it seems to be blowing frosty air — but everything in the freezer is lukewarm — all food for the neighborhood trash pandas now.

do people even try to repair refrigerators anymore? seems an awful waste to trash it. i’m guessing the lightning on monday fried a thermistor. probably a cheap fix for someone with the know how.

i just hauled about 3.5 million dollars of once frozen food to the bin.

while digging things out i discovered a whole section of freezer drawer that was covered in sticky red mystery goo.
🩸 🩸 🩸 🩸 🩸 🩸 🩸

i thought for a moment it was some leaking brisket chicken gizzards gone all liquifaction.

thankfully it was just a bunch of raspberry purée 😂 that my wife had put into ice trays for some cocktail thing.

does anyone want a slightly warm, quite red, very sticky fridge?

@isaiah Love fridge/freezer mystery goo 😂

@isaiah Ugh, what a waste. I live in fear of losing a fridge full of food some day. Only partly due to the cost. Mostly due to the loss of meals that could have been, and the wasted production resources.

Home insurance sometimes covers stuff like that - you might be able to recoup some losses.

@ottaross our second kid moved out last fall. it's just my wife and I now. We went from multiple real meals of real cooking everyday to maybe twice a week.

It meant the freezer was nearly devoid of expensive things. A few some chicken thighs, some very nice pork sausage that I will miss, and about half a package of IKEA veggie meatballs. Apparently we don’t eat very much meat anymore.

The rest was mostly leftovers that, let's face it, I was probably going to toss… someday.

@isaiah Maybe it was a good forcing function for a clean up. A silver lining there. :)
