I’ve been excited about a refrigerator exactly twice.
The first time, I was on a rustic vacation in the woods of Deep Creek, Maryland.
The second time, I was visiting my college friend Stephanie’s newly built home.
Is that…your fridge?
I asked as I walked towards it.
I was intrigued by the flat panel design, which looked so chic.
Of course it is, silly!
Stephanie knocked on the front right panel twice, and the inside lit up immediately.
This clearly wasnt a run-of-the-mill appliance, and I was dying to learn more.
One evening, when other couples joined us for a gathering, Stephanie turned on Ice Plus.
It kicked ice production into high gear by lowering freezer temperatures to the coldest setting for 24 hours.
Then there was the smudge-resistant finish.
My four-year-old daughter and seven-year-old son are constantly touching things.
At home, our existing refrigerator was loaded with tiny fingerprintsbut Stephanie’s wasn’t.
After a weekend of fun, there wasn’t a single smudge in sight.
These features were astonishing, especially for a Millennial like me who hadnt upgraded their refrigerator in a decade.
But the feature that made me a convert was discovered during a late-night trip to grab a midnight snack.
It was as if it knew I was coming.
It understood what I needed, and it delivered.
I had officially entered refrigerator heaven.
I had to get my own.
The customer service representative assured me that the fridge had everything I needed and more.
Not only does the LG fridge elevate my kitchen, it doubles as a mirror.
So I took the plunge and bought it.
Almost immediately, I started thinking more about cooking.
I began looking for new foods and recipes to fill my fridge.
(Who was I?
The fridge had made me a new person!)
It seemed made for my home.
I don’t know that Ill be ever genuinely excited about a refrigerator again.
Its hard to imagine being more impressed by another kitchen appliance.
In other words, my snacks and newfound homemade food will have another gorgeous place to call home.
