Our refrigerator is on the fritz again. The problem turned out to be one the appliance repair company cannot fix with parts they have on hand. It's unclear at this point when we will have a working refrigerator once again. My menu for the next little while is likely to be largely based on leftovers that I need to use up in a hurry. (Thankfully our garage is at a decent refrigerator temperature at the moment and is likely to remain at such for the next couple of weeks at least. But items that used to be frozen are not so much anymore.)
