The Liebherr Refrigerator and Zoned Food Care
Once upon a time I was house proud. Less so now. Rheumatoid arthritis inhibits the free flow of tossing furniture, paint and wallpaper about in a madness of renoelation; easier to re-do a blog outpost. Yet I sometimes graze home fashion magazines.
In Dwell magazine (July and August of 2010) at page 40 I studied an advertisement for a Liebherr fridge. By study, I mean I did require time to adequately understand the X-pense for an item common to a kitchen. The non-shaggy beast is massive, X-ceeding any appliance that ever graced our home in the days before the first Space Walk and Mr. Jackson's Moon Walk.
The cubic footage would hog current kitchen I use for the engineering of blueberry pies, pizzas, summer potatoe salads and IV-coffee fixes. The fridge is not a delicate, frail item but resembles more a 2-tonne truck. To give adequate view of the advertised fridge, the production people had to locate a kitchen half the size of Manitoba, Canada. My thoughts on the kitchen? Another post, perhaps.
I needed to read to comprehend that this appliance is a 'zoned fridge' because one does not want the wine at the same temperature as the lettuce. Yes, that could be a disaster, especially when attempting to find adequate room for leftover Mac-and-Cheese, an unidentified lunch meat and two boiled eggs too many for potatoe salad. However, the idea of a zoned fridge is tempting. Does it, perhaps, have a zone and setting for the chilling of panty hose on an overheated summer day when one must attend a rather formal affair? Will there be safe storage for the collection of hats?
The fridge is a cornucopia of foods and beverages on display, with prominent view of the promise of slimming meals. I realise that the low-cal food stuffs but promise and it is I who must organise a fast.
There is more text. This ‘smart’ fridge will create 'ideal conditions' for all those fruits, veggies and vitamins. O!Grated!Tree!Bark! my fridge has been dumbed down. All that is needed are shellacked labels that state: Happy Put The Lettuce Here or Happy Put The Lemonade Here. This fridge illustrates the wizardry of contemporary comfort and food security yet I’m thinking, truly this is -
‘scusa, I note the polo ponies are being rather quiet as they examine a new issue of Horse and Hounds.
