I have never purchased a new refrigerator. Nor have I ever enjoyed a fancy-dancy fridge enabled with all of the bells and whistles that are so ubiquitious in modern, advanced technology, appliances.
My refrigerator, very small by today's standards, is probably original to the apartment. I have only a teeny-tiny compartment that is dedicated to keeping frozen stuff frozen.........and, I have to periodically defrost the freezer to maintain the space. Otherwise, ice grows and freezer capacity shrinks.
In addition to my small, old refrigerator, I have a new housekeeper from Guatamala. She speaks little English but we make do. I conveyed to Latesia, after offering her a soft drink, that I had no ice....."porque mi refrigerador es muy poquita." With a huge smile, she escorted me to the kitchen. She proudly opened the refrigerator to reveal two trays of partially frozen water that she had positioned on the pull-out defroster tray that is directly below the freezer compartment. "Brava!", said I.............."y muchas gracias."
After almost 19 years of residing with my little refrigerator and imbibing luke-warm martinis.........I GOT ICE!!!
