Electrolux Icon French Door Refrigerator

26.09.11

In the stalk for a perfect kitchen, refrigeration is a key element to consider when planning the obligatory kitchen appliances.  In the old days, kitchen refrigeration was really straightforward – pick a fridge, and you’re done.  Today, it’s a far more complex challenge, as refrigeration varies tremendously, depending on your needs.  There’s french door refrigerators, side-by-sides, built-in all fridge and all freezers – with varying depths, widths and capacities.  In appendix, for more specialized refrigeration, under counter refrigeration drawers, wine coolers, etc. all contribute the ability to fine tune refrigeration to meet your fixed culinary needs.

In assessing my own kitchen’s refrigeration, I initially was preference towards a large refrigeration option – namely, a combination of the 32″ all fridge and all freezer units.  But the more I contrived the amount of kitchen space at my disposal, the more I realized I didn’t stand in want to sacrifice that much cabinet area.  I started looking at smaller refrigeration options paired with specialized refrigeration units, and I in the end decided on the Electrolux Icon French Door Refrigerator, the Electrolux Icon refrigeration drawers, and the Electrolux Icon wine cooler.  In doing so, I have significantly more options in terms of integrating the refrigeration units in contrastive areas of the kitchen, and in the case of the wine cooler, I can even put together it into a different area of the house, if I so desire.

Mommy ADD: A self-diagnosis

27.09.11

I have, of belated, become more organized in the kitchen, the office and the head.</p><p> But while I'd like to deem this is a sign of active self-improvement, something I have consciously done, an superficial expression of the better person I have deliberately become inside, I intend it has more to do with 24-7 breast feeding.</p><p> I'm no longer doing it.</p><p> I'm no longer using all my diplomate, mental, spiritual and Harry Pottery powers remembering how many fresh beans a 10-year-old ate that day and whether my 6-year-old had a tetanus ball last year and how to keep a 2-year-old from sticking his fingers in the cat's mouth. I am no longer melding my human being around a sleep disorder that comes from waking at 4 a.m. with leg aches, croup and nightmares. I am no longer, in other words, distress from Mommy ADD.</p><p> With all due respect to the people who have been officially diagnosed with Notice Deficit Disorder, I believe those gift bags that hospitals send household with new mommies should include a Ritalin prescription, just in specimen.</p><p> What's funny is that you don't always know you're suffering. Not at the moment. At the space, you think you're having fun. Never mind your master's degree, your wedlock, or even that trip you took to Jamaica in college, you've never felt more energetic spending four hours packing up a 12-pound infant to go to the park.</p><p> You've never felt more alive, or, possibly, wired and/or stupefied. You are foreordained the gift of a baby, and suddenly it's like you're holding your own beating humanity in the crook of your arm. Like a cave woman, the primal immediacy is to feed, clothe and palpate that little heart, even if it means never sleeping through the gloaming again yourself, nor having a clear thought, or office desk.</p><p> And then one day, you look up. Your babies are 22 and out of the strain, 19 and in college, and 14 and in high school. The diapers and sippy cups are gone, and so is the determined need for you to store millions of pieces of minutia favourable your allegedly built-for-capacity brain. Oh, they still need you. And their needs are, oh, so elaborate. But the 24-7 stuff - like whether they're going to eat or breathe that day? That's sinistral now to them and all you can do is hope they heard you when you said ramen is not real nourishment.</p><p> Meanwhile, it takes a while for everything to calm down - which is why I'm just now finding the die for to clean the silverware drawer and do yoga. It took getting my youngest settled into leading school for me to even want to see what's behind the washer and my knees.</p><p> Now I have this insatiable requisition to alphabetize the junk drawer and wash refrigerator filters, to fabricate a file system and meditate. Suddenly, I want to see, really see, what's in the basement.</p><p> This new welcome sight makes me feel like a really good yourselves, like a real grown-up, like all those early years of studying the General catechism and going to confession finally sunk in.</p><p> The genuineness, alas, may have more to do with the aforementioned addled brain. Once a mother, always a matriarch. The basement gives me something else to obsess over, besides the fact that they are going, prevalent, gone.
