Welcome to your new home, food.

Yesterday was a big day for Seth. The new fridge arrived. Seth's milk is safe!

We debated about whether or not to dump the old one. It was too big for the space and ugly, but technically it worked and since we both try to prioritize environmental stewardship over aesthetics, we had planned on keeping it until it completely died. But once we discovered stubborn mold that wouldn't come off despite our aggressive efforts, that was that -- the old Admiral fridge, circa our birth years, would have to go.

Two trips to Sears and a ton of internet research later, our new purchase arrived. Two burly delivery men got the old one out and the new one set up in no time. Here's something to know: people who are experienced at removing doors can do so in less than a minute. Our friendly Sears delivery men also told me that the old refrigerator will go to a recycling plant where its guts are mined for usable parts, so it wasn't a totally un-green outcome.

Welcome to your new home, food. We hope you like the weather.
