Living in a hotel gets very expensive when it comes to food so my roommie Casey and I were on a budget! I decided I wanted something healthy and inexpensive so I ordered food from this Greek Restaurant up the street. Well, you know how you shouldn't go to the grocery store if you're starving because you end up buying a lot more than you don't need? Yeah same goes for ordering delivery! I ordered an entire marinated chicken, a huge thing of rice, a large Greek salad and lots of pita bread with hummus. A family of 5 or 6 could all eat well from this meal! I felt like that episode of "I Love Lucy" where she ordered a whole side of a cow when they delivered it! It was awesome though. Casey and I wound up splitting it and there were still TONS of food left. I thought, "I'll have plenty of leftovers I can refrigerate and save money tomorrow! The one thing I DIDN'T think about was how strong Greek food smells ... On day 1 I ate left over's, but there was still a TON of food left so back in the fridge it went. By day 2 after we had ordered the food, Casey and I were wondering what in the world was wrong with our room. Our room stunk, and it stunk BAD. Casey wandered around the room bent over following her nose trying to figure out where it was coming from ... It was AWFUL. Then I thought about the food, "Uh oh." When Casey was in the shower I opened the fridge door and nearly passed out ... It was like someone had refrigerated a dirty diaper. I took the food out and threw it away in the vending machine room ... Casey came out of the shower and said, "Our room smells like farts" ... I felt HORRIBLE. It was all my fault! Of course I apologized I even offered to buy her dinner to try to make up for it. She was awesome about it and assured me it was ok. Of course it was not. We tried everything to de-smell our room. Candles, air freshener, maids, baking soda in the fridge ... Nothing worked. For days our room WREAKED. I'm lucky to have such a sweet roommate because I'm sure anybody else would have killed me! Finally Casey called to get a new fridge.
When it was delivered ... the man went to stack it on top of the other
instead of loading the old one up to take away... Casey started to say
something, but greed had taken over me. The thought of having two
refrigerators was just too good ... So I jumped in. Casey looked at me
like she was about to kill me. When he left I explained my plan. If I
could not get the smell out then out it would go, but if I could, then
we could have 2 refrigerators! She joined in with the plan and we were
determined! Together I am proud to say we conquered the smell! We have
our two refrigerators loaded up with yogurt, lunch meat, cheese, milk,
jams and mayo ... People are fridge-envious and we are victorious ☺
