Where there's a will there's a way!

Things are small here in the Netherlands....we've only seen one full size pick up truck, many kitchens don't have room for an oven so they use microwaves that serve both purposes. That's what we have and it's taken me trying to bake twice to figure out that when you open the door of the microwave to check the brownies it shuts off the oven, just as if you were microwaving!  So note to myself...if you check the cake be sure to push the start button again!

 Our refrigerator is about the size of the large cooler we had for camping when our kids were at home and has no freezer compartment.  With an assignment to feed 54 missionaries for lunch I really needed a freezer to store food.  When the appropriate channels were toooo slow (I'm feeding the 54 tomorrow!) We got instructions from the top to just go get one!  Yeah!
 
We found one at Media Markt of all places!  Of course they didn't really have any to sell, only to demo :(    We talked them into selling us the demo and presto chango we had a freezer!




We had it in our car before you could say "whaaaat?"   As you can see it's not big...about the size of the camper cooler we have now (it fit in the back of our Toyota Yaris).  But I'm not complaining, it's a life saver!  So lunch for 54, here we come!
