Beer!

Some people comment about how everything is bigger here. Well, it is! In Dublin, our refrigerator was the size that students here use in college. We managed fairly well but wished that we had had more freezer space. Overall, it worked well for us because then we couldn't buy too much stuff.

Well, now we have a massive fridge! I know it is a standard size one but we just can't fill it. I know that they run better if they are full but it is just too big for the two of us because I am trying to only buy what we need so that we don't waste food.

So, this weekend, we drove about an hour to have dinner with my brother. After dinner, we realized that we were in the "the state of beer" and there was a big grocery store near the restaurant so of course we had to look for the beer that we can only get in the state. I think that we may have gone a bit overboard but at least now the refrigerator is full!

Any guesses on how long it will take us to drink it all (and yes, there is more in the door)?

Now don't kill me, but I understood that freezers work more efficiently if they're jam-packed but stuff in refrigerators needs to have cool air circulating around to keep things cool. Guess that means there's lots of beer to drink, and soon! Lucky Aileen...

The fridge isn't jam packed (just looks that since the stuff is in the front) and it is working much better at this level of fullness. :) There is a little container in the back that we use the collect the water that drips and it drips much less when it is more full. I appreciate your concern for our refrigerator, though.
