After Katrina I wrote a post (joking) about how we were the only ones with power, so everyone brought their food over and my Diet Dr. Pepper had been relegated to the counter. I requested a wine frig to store my nectar. (Have you ever had warm DDP?) Well, Jeff latched onto this idea with a vengeance. “It would be perfect,” he said. “The kids would stay out of the frig if all the drinks were there,” he continued.
My only resistance to all this? I would have to de-construct a cabinet I built, install a power outlet AND displace my spices.
Needless to say Jeff won and we are now the proud new owners of a wine cooler. Yea, I know, just try to wrap your mind around the ridiculousness of that. Mormons, practicing Mormons, with a wine frig.
Other issues? My sanity. I stumbled into the kitchen this morning for my AM dose of the DDP, opened the frig and nearly had a heart attack. “No Diet Dr. Pepper! What?! How did this happen? What am I going to do? Wait. Oh yea, it’s in the wine frig now. Carry on.” Hearts just aren’t meant to take that kind of stress before 9 Am.
There’s not nearly enough DDP in there to make this all okay. And don’t even get me started on where I’m supposed to put all my homeless spices.
I’m thinking of putting them in the wine frig.
That’s a great idea to have a wine fridge. I may recommend that to Bob for our Mormon Bar downstairs.
I AM IN LOVE WITH IT!
Seriously, how great would that be for my beloved Diet Coke. Maybe it’s better that I don’t have one because then I’d love it so much I’d want to marry it and my priorities are screwed up enough as it is.
I’m with you on DDP deserving a (cool) place of honor in the kitchen. And as far as the spices, due to Hubby’s rearranging/remodeling disorder, my spices are spread throughout several cupboards across the kitchen–some of them on shelves I can’t possibly reach. This means that every time I need a spice a great deal of whining, stomping and door slamming ensue until Hubby comes in with a big sigh and tracks down whatever it is I need. Surely there’s a better system!
