For thousands of years, people have used forms of refrigeration to keep food and other objects cold. Keeping food cold helps slow the spoiling process and helps it last longer.Today more than 99% of American homes have a refrigerator. These are based on the compression of a gas into a liquid to absorb heat. The substance that is used for compression has most commonly been Freon, a substance which

Before going on holiday for a week recently (we went to Ibiza, the weather was good, plenty of wine, a bit of clubbing, thanks for asking!) I had to use up everything left in the fridge. What better way than in a wok, with a special fried rice theme to it. And luckily I had some rice cooked and cooled from the night before too. I have given the ingredients that I used here, but that is just a g

Over the years, we've tried many systems to organize them and keep them where we can find them, but we always end up defaulting to The Pile on the Kitchen Counter&trade filing system.

Once you’ve watched this viral from Budweiser, you’ll want one too. The ad was originally flighted during the Superbowl in 2006, but has successfully transitioned to the Internet. It’s been viewed more than 290 thousand times on YouTube, which proves that the ad has some staying power (to be honest it makes me dream about a time when all TV ads could be as entertaining as this).
It’s funny, surprising, and has likeable characters who (I’m slightly ashamed to admit) I can easily relate to my own friends. One of the reasons for The Magic Fridge’s success is that it’s based on quite a universal idea: people appreciate free beer. Without giving too much away I’ll just say that I identify with the sentiment of the ad – and know quite well which side of the wall I’d be on. I’ll risk saying that most of you would be there with me, quietly wishing for your own Magic Fridge.

Fridge-freezer from Gorenje decorated with 7000 Swarovski crystals. A status symbol where you can cool your Krug champagne along with your black russian caviar. This high tech fridge has a touch-sreen containing a recipe book and radio. Only sold at Harrods to ridicolously high price. This Gorenje Fridge is probably the most expensive fridge on the market though it´s all for a good cause with all revenues aimed for charity. Only five has been produced so far so I´d say it´s a great investment.
Do you bring your food to work? Do you keep it in the office fridge? Are you in a constant battle to get your food into a pint-sized fridge because others leave their food there for days on end?
What will you do when they come for your beer fridge?Denise Young, a researcher at the University of Alberta, wants beer drinkers to pull the plug on the ultimate luxury: the beer fridge. Environmentalists issued a report today that claims homes that use older refrigerators to keep beverages cold are contributing to global warming.The reason is older model refrigerators suck as much as 50 percent more energy when compared to modern units. Many North American households do not retire old refrigerators when newer units are purchased. Instead, the old units are placed in garages, basements or game rooms and given the new task of keeping a chilled supply of beer, soda, wine and bottled water at the ready. The study estimated that as many as 30 percent of homes have a second refrigerator.The University of Alberta study recommends that governments offer to buy back inefficient beer fridges. The researchers say that if beer drinkers gave up their beer fridges that enough energy would be saved
Do you bring your food to work? Do you keep it in the office fridge? Are you in a constant battle to get your food into a pint-sized fridge because others leave their food there for days on end? Here's an article I recently found on office fridge etiquette. Here's an excerpt on the article: Do not eat or drink foods that do not belong to you. Do not leave food in the refrigerator to rot and smell. If you brought it and didn’t eat it, throw it away. Do not leave foods uncovered. This is especially important when the food has a strong odor. Better yet, try not to bring foods that may have a strong odor such as garlic or onions. This is also good advice for your breath during the workday. If your container leaks or spills in the refrigerator, clean the spill. Do not rummage through your co-worker’s food to see what they brought or make comments about what they brought to eat." And
Dermatitis is an inflammation of the upper layers of the skin causing rash, blisters, scabbing, redness and swelling.
Whoever cannot sleep at night because of the itchiness caused by the dermatitis is advised by the specialists to recourse to… cold.
In the evening, before going to bed, put in the fridge, for about an hour, the pyjamas or the bedgown, and dress up immediately after taking the clothing out of the fridge.
The cold helps the organism to escape the cortisone hormone which produces the horrid itches. It is advisable to stay as calm as one can for the last two hours before going to bed.

All that you need to get is a “Savaplug” and all that you need to do is plug it in and your are ready to go and save some power. What it does is regulates the electricity, this because the fridge does when the motor runs it goes on full power, obviously this is not necessary so the “Savaplug” reduces the flow of electricity to the appliance.
It is estimated that the power saving could be as high as twenty per cent, surprisingly it works much better on older type fridges, however there are some compatibility issues with some types, so it might be a good idea to check first.
It comes with a ten year guarantee and is priced at $238.

If it does, you are certainly not alone.Eating in response to stress often causes us to make poor food choices which usually lead to overeating which eventually results in weight gain.Admittedly, this tends to really hit home for me. Even as a nutritionist I struggle with wanting something ooey, gooey and simply scumptious to eat when particularly stressed about something. We learn from an early age to associate food with comfort and love, feeling good. Special occasions and holiday celebrations often revolve around food. Its natural, then, when stressed to run to food seeking the comfort of something delicious to eat.Take a minute and think about some times in your life or situations where the amount of stress or distress that you were under caused you to over eat. So what to do? Well the answer really is to learn some other responses to stress that are not destructive to you, those that don't involve food. This isnt so easy and it will not happen overnight.

This happened when I fell asleep on the floor for five minutes. This was not the first time, either. For those of you that know me, you know I am a night owl. I cannot seem to get to bed before 12:30am and even if I do I would lay in bed while my mind races with anything and everything. So I am usually very tired in the mornings.So what does a mom like me do when this happens? Why I get the camera, of course! I know a lot of you can relate. There was a point where I had to put the camera down, though. But not before I took this shot:

Okay, so as I have explained, this week has been mad. Today, I have been running around trying to get my graduation forms and minor declaration forms signed. It is such a mission! You run from one side of the campus to the other and then back again (oh and then you forgot that you actually needed that other persons signature) so you run back…and they’ve already left for the day! and through all of this…I would have managed to wear my most uncomfortable shoes…the ones that dig into your foot leaving you hobbling around for the rest of the week!

And of course I’ve been too busy to shop for food (and you can’t rely on the men in your house to manage a quick pit stop into publix to stock up) (but somehow they manage to make their way to the golf course!).
