Kitchen Mishaps

May 18, 2019 7:35 PM

My fridge has got some serious issues lately. I impulse bought that expensive dark chocolate ice cream last week, and when I went to go eat it, I realized it was completely melted because my freezer wasn't cold enough. I decided to treat it like a computer, and I unplugged it and plugged it back in. Amazingly, that worked, because the next day my ice cream was frozen again. BUT, then I wanted to eat a salad and my lettuce was frozen! Why is my freezer not cold enough and my fridge too cold?!

Now my toaster oven, on the other hand, has been finicky for the past few months. I've had this toaster oven for many, many years. I had it in my first apartment, but I'm pretty sure it was my family's toaster oven before that. Clearly it's dying because it's caught on fire several times this year. Now it doesn't even close all the way. Sometimes it gets stuck when you try to open it. But it still does a perfectly good job at warming up my tortillas so I'm gonna keep using it until it completely breaks down.

And do you see this? This is what happened after I attempted to turn on one of the lights for my light box. The lightbulb just broke and fell! The other part of it was still screwed in and I stupidly tried to unscrew it with my fingers, which resulted in a cut on my thumb.
