Then I got my first cuisinarts, and wound up naming her Barbie Two. As in Audrey Two. Two and her wardrobe of 12 slicing/grating discs and their very own containers moved to the beach when we bought F. Manor, and Barbie and B.Three now jostle for space and attention in the city. Happy Shopping! and of course baking.wellfedfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118802089389931227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818151513249030194.post-91180710099442850722014-01-14T07:50:08.151-05:002014-01-14T07:50:08.151-05:00I agree with another commenter that a side by side...I agree with another commenter that a side by side refrigerator/freezer is very convenient.

We are also in the market for a new fridge, but we're not sure which one to choose. Our big thing is that we don't want an ice maker and we would like the fridge and freezer to be side by side. Good luck in your search for the perfect one. I also love your mixer. That's another thing on my "kitchen wish list"! hellokatiegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07703865360501573294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818151513249030194.post-11413592613103953262014-01-13T20:54:34.546-05:002014-01-13T20:54:34.546-05:00Our fridge-freezer has two pull-out wire baskets i...Our fridge-freezer has two pull-out wire baskets in the freezer on the bottom - actually, they are a pain in the neck! I always end up sitting on the floor emptying everything out to get at something at the back.

It is an almond color to match the back splash and any other random accessory I plop on the counter. Our fridge has the freezer on the bottom and I find it to be the best style for us. Very rarely do we access the freezer so having it higher is an odd combination. DH will be doing the clean out this weekend.

Or at least the fridge of beverages. Juices, back up milk, and wine, wine, wine, sometimes a 6 pack of fancy beer for the boys. <br /><br />We are lucky to have a lot of citrus here and just yesterday I juiced oranges for breakfast. There is nothing like fresh squeezed orange juice. I love having citrus on the counter, too.

You'll be starting a bakery next I just know it--you've always got something coming out of your oven as is!<br /><br />As you do your research bear in mind that you would like to do a reno on your kitchen in the next few years. Have you thought of fridge or freezer drawers? Small under counter models of either? You do go through groceries quite efficiently and may not need as much space as the average family. Have you considered a wine fridge or a space for upright bottles? I agree that you probably don't need a large freezer in the basement. Those are good for super large families or Costco shoppers--but most of us don't really need them.<br /><br />The only orange we've got in our fridge now are clementines and carrots.

There's a 36" Miele with a bottom freezer you might like if that is not too big for your space. Or on a lower scale, a lot of the Whirlpool models rate well in Energy Star and cooling. I would reco staying away from anything LG as they seem to have a lot of issues with the electronics, ice makers etc. They were the "standard" in the condo building down street from us where my friend lives. Maybe they just got a "lemon lot" but many have been replaced after 3 years.<br /><br />Not sure what WMM's Nigella is, but looks swanky enough for champers.GetFreshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15426579144685310371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818151513249030194.post-50135950485205179492014-01-13T16:40:27.987-05:002014-01-13T16:40:27.987-05:00ALW, I agree a bit of bubbly elevates every interi...ALW, I agree a bit of bubbly elevates every interior.GetFreshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15426579144685310371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818151513249030194.post-57152572069635743832014-01-13T16:26:37.250-05:002014-01-13T16:26:37.250-05:00The orange duchess gives the inside of your fridge...The orange duchess gives the inside of your fridge such verve!
