Eggs, cheese, an expensive container of clarified butter, salty/peppered mackerel (in a ziploc bag, gracias-a-dios!!), yogurt, frozen vegetables, frozen blackberries, various and sundry condiments, onions, carrots...these are the items which are currently at risk of spoiling in my fridge. At least I didn't buy any milk. Please. I am unemployed! A fridge full of spoiling food is not what I need. The electricity flickered (always with the lovely high pitched sound of the smoke detector punctuating the silence) seven times in one night throughout an electrical storm. And just when it had finally cut out for good, then the storm left! As if its mission had finally been accomplished.
A weird concoction I made of pinto beans, tomato paste, okra, onions and various spices might also spoil. Actually that is no great loss. (It was not one of my finer creations.) Maybe the two brands of salty plums which I extravagantly purchased several months ago at Mitsuwa will be okay.To put it in perspective, I suppose its nothing compared to, say, living on a claim and a giant storm comes sweeping through the prairies and ruins your whole crop of buckwheat.
It sure is irritating, though.
