refrigerators

Original

 I tell you the story about refrigerator. He had a small old style which most Americans use and enough for himself alone. When I moved here, I stored food and one day he told me that we needed a new refrigerator. I replied, " why? it is good still. Then later, he draged me in the kitchen and told me to watch him while he was opening to door (one door for whole). The packed of frozen chicken flies over his face Haha🤣. The freezer without the door.

I agreed to get a new one and he gave me another solution like what they had at his parents's house. He said, we could get a freezer and put in the garage. I refused because our garage was small and I want to save his money. The time past (not sure if this past or passed) I agreed with him that it was good to have a freezer too but if we have a place to set it not in the small garage. I wanted to park my car in the garage, if we had the freezer then no way my car could fit in there. OK, we got the modern Samsung two doors open two sides,nice compaments (shelves) with automatic ice maker and water tap at the outside door. Moreover, a separated huge drawer bottom freezer. We used them about 9 years and that was my DIASTER moment while we were waiting for the new one delivered. 

We looked at the modern stylish ones and none was stocked in the store we went at all. If we wanted to wait that took one , two months which I did not have the refrigerator for two weeks. I must bought ice packs ever day, replacing the foam boxes to keep all meat and stuff. Tired! 

I forgot to mention that we were lucky the simple one ( We agreed, whatever avalable and fit our space, that was the one) .We got it in a week but it did not work. RETURNED. The team came and replaced a new one then I told them to take it back because we retruned not replaced. Aterthat, we went to the other location  same store brand/name and ordered it.Whaever available and could delivery sooner. We get in within a week. It was a simple Frigidair, top freezer open door and the big door at the shelves section. No fancy as we could not wait for them anymore. I told my husband, in the next 10 years when we get the new one, I perfer the separated bottom drawer freezer.

enough snow already

 Original

A couple days before the winter storm hit in Delaware in 2026. I asked my husband if we have enough salt or sand, if not he should stopped and get them after work. I do not get in-charge, assuming myself haha . From that day, every morning I opened the curtain window from the bed room and look if snow come. The first day, nothing. It was calm , quiet and peaceful as usual. The second day morning, nothing and then the night when we were sleeping....? The next morning, I thought was weekend, heavy snow falling , clam but unstoppable for 2 days. I remembered, we were shoveling snow on Monday and we were exhausting. It was not much when compared to the one hit in January 24, 2016 but this time was SUPER COLD. I was freezing while shoveling. After the winter storm day and we were done shoveling, we discussed about getting an electric snow shovel but not the big one as we did not want to pay. Our driveway and footpath was not that HUGE. Maybe the handy one. Well, we did not purchase. 

Today, February 23, 2026 while I am writing and sipping my hot cocoa after tired shoveling AGAIN hooowwww!  I heard the weather forecast on TV, the reporters said, " We just got the icy melted and seeing our grass in the yards but snow is coming on the weekend". Gosh! no word to say more than this. There is somewhat of icy still in our property and I was happy to see the grass in our yard. AGAIN? huum, I think " maybe not that bad as we thought". Last night, my husband came to me and told me to look on the del..something website as he wanted to point me what snow we expected. The number appeared on the news was 18-24 inches. I told him, "I do not think we would get that much. I think it was just warning and keep looking. It may be less or the same as the earlier storm we just got. Yes, my thought was right. 

We helped each other pushed the snow on the driveway. It was still soft and easy to push. The thick snow heavier and harder shoveled. We had to lift the shovel and dropped snow many times. That cause us back pain and hand muscle sore. 

Well, I do not go out, no outside work today but my husband may. He called his work in the morning and the message said, "The building will close until 10am. I told him to call again at 10am if they change to close for the day. I want him to rest at home and yeah! he stayed home. He went to grab the work laptop yesterday after his college texted that if much snow then the building may close.

This time, snow melted fast. It was good.

A Coffee Maker Saved Me From Midnight Hunger

 

 I spoke Thai in the video

original

It was in December 2012 , we were in a Farmhouse style hotel. There were an old coffee maker and I did not remember if a refrigerator in the room but no microwave. There was a local minimart in the gas station where I got my noodle cup. I wanted to make the noodles but I could not think, how to make it that time without a microwave. I told my husband, then he grabbed a coffee pot and poured water in it. OH! why I did not think about this? I did not drink coffee and did not use a coffee maker in Thailand. We had an electric hot water which pushed the button and water came. I did not see in the USA that time. I saw at a Chinese store in Delaware.  Back to my noodles,  the water was filling into the glass coffee pot and my husband was pouring hot water into my noodle cup.  Yippy, I could enjoy my noodles now but no spoon, no chopsticks. I did not look for them at the minimart because I thought there were some in the room or I could ask from the counter as same as other hotels. Eventually, I saw none in the room and it was after midnight, I did not want to walk out of the room and walk to the counter in the next building. 

It was a farm style, long rooms in the row as L shape outdoor. The frozen swimming pool in the center, outdoor and the smallest building at the front that was an office, checking counter.

There were tiny straws in a paper coffee cups. I grabbed them and used them as my chopsticks, It worked. I was sitting on the floor lean on the bed and enjoyed my noodles.

In December 2012, we were staying at a farmhouse‑style hotel. The room had an old coffee maker, and I can’t remember if there was a refrigerator, but there was definitely no microwave. There was a small minimart at the gas station nearby, and that’s where I bought my noodle cup.

Later that night, I wanted to make the noodles, but my mind went blank. I couldn’t think of any way to heat the water without a microwave. I told my husband, and he immediately grabbed the coffee maker and filled the glass pot with water. Then it hit me — why didn’t I think of that? I never drank coffee in Thailand, and I had never used a coffee maker before. Back home, we had electric hot‑water dispensers: press a button, and hot water comes out. I hadn’t seen those in the U.S. at that time, except once in a Chinese store in Delaware.

Back to my noodles — the water heated up in the coffee pot, and my husband poured the hot water into my noodle cup. Yippy! I could finally enjoy my noodles. But then I realized there were no spoons or chopsticks. I hadn’t looked for them at the minimart because I assumed the hotel room would have some, or that I could ask the front desk like in other hotels. But it was after midnight, and I didn’t want to walk outside to the office, which was in a separate building.

The hotel layout was simple: long rows of rooms in an L‑shape, a frozen outdoor swimming pool in the center, and a tiny front building that served as the office and check‑in counter.

I looked around the room again and found tiny straws inside the paper coffee cups. I grabbed two and used them as chopsticks. And surprisingly, it worked. I sat on the floor, leaning against the bed, and happily enjoyed my noodles.
