This week went by quickly. I woke up this morning to a beautifully white frosted city, and a notice that school had been cancelled.
See our fridge has been creaky lately, and all our dairy is well, now several science experiments growing all kinds of green goo. We called our landlord and four days later, he stops by. He quickly called the company to send out workers to repair it. So today, I left the apartment because our electricity went out and I needed to get some work done. Of course, when our power goes out, the repair guys came to fix the fridge, but were unable to do so, obviously, because the electricity is out, they left. So the smells exponentially develop in the heat of our little cozy apartment. We call our landlord because clearly everything in our freezer is melting and our dairy is turning to slime. Six hours later he shows up and tells us that he will turn on the old fridge (that his ex-wife wanted back but never took and is resting in our stairway) so we can use something, but it won't work for another 24 hours at least. So what does he suggest? Our landlord says, just open your window and put the contents of your freezer in the snow for the next two days.
I'm not kidding.
And for fun, a picture of our snow adventures in Duzce!

We put all our food in snow last year when we lost power for 36 hours. Best freezer ever!
