Who Knew Dry Ice Was So Expensive?

Well, not as expensive as a new refrigerator, but it also does not last as long.  The remanufactored unit has not yet arrived, so we are keeping things in the refrigerator and freezer cool using dry ice.  It works very well actually, and saves us from having to run into our daughter's house multiple times a day for food.  We are a snacking bunch.  Unfortunately, ice cream does not keep well.  Why is it that one always wants ice cream just before bed?  Perhaps I shall lose a few pounds this way?  Come on Fed Ex - I want my refrigerator to work again!
