I'm an idiot, lol.

9. LOL, in a normal year I love having the luxury of the

extra space of the "garage" fridge without an actual second one. It's perfect for chili, stew, the roast, and pasta/potato salads; this year that would more resemble the "solid as a rock garage freezer," and ruining the cold-weather best texture keeping of potatoes, onions, and squashes. Not very useful for keeping the fresh fruit/veggie trays, soups, mayonnaise-based pasta dressings or "chilling fillings until firm and moldable" mac & cheese balls and sauerkraut balls that also become frozen solid before dredging and deep-frying until crisp (serve hot?) in which the fillings are still rock hard and cold.

DH used some Invisible Glass (sort of windex but better) to unstick his frozen shut car doors that had been outdoors during the 50 degree flash freeze Thursday night; the plastic spray bottle full of product, wrapped in a towel, cracked and leaked all over his car, and it was far less than full.
