A new fridge!

Since coming back from California, I have been absolutely fed-up with my fridge. I was buying fresh fruit and vegetables and my fridge was just literally destroying the contents. The salad draws filled up with water. Salad or vegetables stored on the shelves just froze or rapidly withered away and I had to literally use an ice pick to get into the freezer draws. Sometimes I would just take one look at the fridge and decide to cook something instead rather than face the contents. The fridge was so old it was wasting food and energy. Enough was enough, a new fridge well over due. I finally got one ordered and it arrived last week!

The old one got quickly shoved out side waiting to be collected for recycling (if possible) and a gleaming new energy efficient fridge took its place. I knew the fridge was going to make a difference but I had not quite envisaged how much of a difference it was going to make.

Now my vegetables and salads last much longer than I thought, especially when stored in a green bag, bought from Asda (I used these handy green bags a lot whilst out in California). I can now find items much easier than ever before. I can freeze food without food getting frost-bite or wondering how will I ever get it out again. But the biggest impact, it has inspired and motivated me to stay raw. I now enjoy going into the fridge and pulling out fresh vegetables and salads to use in my meals. I no longer dread going into the fridge to be faced with moulding contents that might cause me to loose my appetite for raw food. And the best bit, I can know make raw ice-cream for those special treats.

Ok, I had for fork out a small amount money to buy a fridge freezer, but a little change like this has made the world of difference, helping me keep to a high raw diet.
