In the US, we are all used to our big cars, big houses, big yards, big closets full of lots of big stuff . It is nice to have that much space and it certainly is convenient, but we’ve learned, you can adjust to about anything if you set your mind to it.
Take the most everyday of appliances…the refrigerator. Nothing better that cooking up a storm all weekend, and having loads of food for the week. Or, planning for that party and having that big ole frig stocked full of party food and drink. Well, we’ve adjusted to the fact that this may/may not be the norm for Germany, but it is our reality anyway. As can be seen in the picture below, our frig is unobtrusively hidden to look like part of the cabinetry. Nice! So, just where is that frig?
Upon closer inspection, there it is…yep, the one that looks like the college kids’ dorm frig….
Being a “glass half full gal” most of the time, one thing is for sure… it sure cuts down on food spoilage.

I always wondered how one spells the shortened form of refrigerator. I always opted for the "dge" ending, but who am I?
Ironically, people here have the same size refrigerators as we do in the U.S. but there is NOTHING in it. And I do mean, that at the end of the week, it usually contains a pitcher of chilled water and quart of boxed milk, both of which they keep around for me.
You say "tomayto", and I say "tomahto", you say "eether" and I say, "eyether"....
