And for today...

Here's my evening post! I ran some errands this morning and then came home and had lunch, did a little more polymer clay, and then cleaned house some more. I wanted everything done before the weekend, since we have plans for Saturday, and I work Sunday.

Ah, that makes sense about the keys. I haven never seen freezers with keys, but then also nobody would ever think of keeping a freezer outside the house, as it would be very inefficient if it gets hot.
But then, we usually don't have such monster fridges you have in the U.S. (although some people have U.S. style fridges nowadays), and most people have a combination of fridge and freezer if they don't have a basement to place it.
This was what I had when we still lived in a flat: fridge-freezer-combination; the three bottom drawers are the freezer unit, the upper part is the fridge. The upper part is considerd average-sized, but amply sufficient for four people. We don't have ice-cube makers or ice-water dispensers or so, and you can't buy any liquids in galleons in German supermarkets, and so on.
Today, I have the super luxury of a room-high fridge with three 0°C-drawers to store dairy, meat (in theory ;o) ) and vegetables for longer than usual: (this is even exactly my model). I use most of the biofrehs drawers for veggies, since my basemet isn't cool enough to keep there onions or cabbage or so. I also have a freezer of the same size, with drawers, in my utility room; but it's only such a tall one because of the kitty-raw feeding, and because I freeze a lot of veggies from the garden.
Both are about 24 inches long on one side, which is the average size of kitchen applicances in Germany; you don't usually have space for anything larger.
How fascinating these different customs are! :o)

We have a good sized fridge/freezer combination as well. But the freezer section is not all that big. We don't have a water dispenser in this one, and since this is an old house, we'd have to have a lot of expensive plumbing done to hook iup the ice maker.I usually just buy a bag of ice once a week.

When we lived in Mississippi we had a huge full sized upright freezer in our utility room/pantry. We had a key for it but never locked it except if there was a hurricane warning (since it would help if there was a power outage).

But there's no room here in this smaller house in Oklahoma, so my smaller chest type freezer has to live in the garage.

The piping would be a problem for fridges with ice makers here, too; as far as I know the models sold here have a water tank or so since it's not usually available.
What do you use the ice cubes for, by the way? Nobody I know ever uses any, so I feel rather clueless. *g*
