I never used that. With me, that one gets used when the youngest does not finish dinner.

"We ate stale bread! And we were happy to get it!" That sort of thing.

Seriously, though. We had this antique refrigerator, just barely post Icebox, which had a try under the ice cube rack where my mother would store minute steak. She would let it freeze there until it turned blue then cook it until it turned black.

She couldn't make steam.

Did you know, that listening to The Soft Parade at full volume on a stereo with large speakers will cause your teeth to rattle? I just found that out when I walked into my kid's room.
