Ahah! With a cup of tea and piece of toast with peanut butter, the brain is refreshed and retrieved the important piece of information.
The small outside refrigerator is almost history. I believe the story goes that Linda rescued it from the sidewalk who knows how many years ago. It resided on the breezeway (for those of you in California, that's the screened area that linked the garage and house) in Ohio for who knows how many years. It came along with all the other items on the big moving van just 8 years ago, and lived out on the back patio. It was used to keep extra drinks, the stockpile of cream cheese (bought on sale but good for several months), the backup yogurt, cottage cheese, celery, orange juice, etc.
But as has been noted here more than once, one person consumes significantly less, and I tend to stock up less anyway. The fridge in the kitchen is more than large enough to hold what I need.
I emptied all the remaining items, threw out the things that were no longer good, and turned it off. It defrosted and drained. It will take a bit to pull it away from the wall and unplug. And then I need to figure out a way to get this small antique disposed of.
Next job: the freezer.
So off to get ready to head to Los Gatos and the Sisterhood brunch. Home for a bit in between and then Happy Birthday Billy!
