We have an auxiliary refrigerator and we have a freezer, which is
probably too many appliances for just two people. We are trying to
figure out which appliance(s) we can live without.

I cook breakfast every day, today it was huevos ranchero and I cook
lunch and I make snacks, yesterday I made a hot, artichoke dip, so if I
can double a dinner recipe and freeze the remainder, I like that. I
enjoy cooking, but I often cook several times a day.
