This is a hell of a way to clean out the fridge :) The maintenance man brought the replacement fridge. It's larger (15.6 cu. ft) than the one they took out of here when I moved in, thank goodness! But of course I hate it! The shelves are too close together and aren't adjustable; my "egg basket" doesn't fit on the shelf on the door (of course there *isn't* a built-in place on the door for eggs).

Before you start, I don't have any wine with which to deglaze and make a lovely sauce. I don't have any half & half. The little bit of milk I had was warm when I discovered the problem with the fridge so I dumped it. I *do* have canned evaporated milk but... I suppose I could go to the store, but after the events of today I'm a little worn out. As ChrisD could tell you, I had every intention of going to buy wine & champagne for New Year's Eve today but I don't even feel like doing *that* LOL
