billroperI was up until 3 AM yesterday force defrosting our piece-of-junk Samsung refrigerator.
Today, Gretchen and I went out to shop for refrigerators.
The problem is that, due to the pandemic, the supply chain is fiercely messed up. It seems the manufacturers are concentrating on producing refrigerators and other appliances in stainless steel. The other appliances in our kitchen are fine and white.
Oh, and we are limited to a side-by-side or a French door refrigerator because of the island in our kitchen.
Yeeks.
At the store we went to, they have a fairly cheap side-by-side (which is not really what we want) and a French door model that is hideously expensive, but is pretty much what we're looking for with a lifetime supply of bells and whistles tacked on. We went home to think about it and check reviews.
I think if the hideously expensive refrigerator is available tomorrow and can be delivered in reasonable time, we'll be getting it.
It beats losing food.
And sleep.
