Our old one was probbaly a good 25 years old. I know the freezer was
over 30 years old when it died. The fridge is nice, but huge. And more
than enough for two people.

I make smoked salmon dip for everybody in my dept at work for
Christmas. I also sell it holiday bazaars. So, I will use 30 lbs of
cream cheese in one day's work. I was used to using several of the
small bottles found in grocery stores, so I really didn't know how
much I use when I bought the larger bottles. I was also expecting to
take more orders than I got, but that's how the economy is. So, I have
two bottles left.
