Our fridge has been limping along for a week. It's been repaired twice and failed three times. We have taken to eating out of a cooler that sits on our back porch. Thankfully the weather has been cold enough that it isn't an issue that we don't have ice.
It's just a tiny inconvenience that has thrown our daily routine a little off. I'm not really all that upset about it. We have a back up chest freezer in the shop so our freezer goods are fine. We haven't gone shopping for a couple weeks so there really isn't that much food in the cooler.
My intention to can over the summer and fall months has been renewed. I really don't like thinking that if I prepare a month's worth of meals for the freezer, it could all be gone to waste with the first power outage storm. (Do they have those here?). Of course I won't be able to store anything in the shop (negative temps and all) and that means finding a space inside for all those jars. I wonder if you can preserve in food saver bags???? That would save a ton of space!
