Living in London

For those of you who struggled with wedging that last bowl of salad or leftovers or dessert into the refrigerator these past few holiday weeks, we offer you our sympathy. In London, most refrigerators are less than half the size of those in the U.S. As we prepared our Christmas Eve dinner for ourselves and a few friends we soon discovered that we had more food than our little fridge could hold.

How lucky we are that it has been so cold lately (it has been hovering around freezing for the last few weeks). Our window ledge served double duty as a substitute for extra fridge space. (Note the outside ledge is only about five inches wide, so all goods must be securely anchored on the inside of the window!)
