Last Monday night at 11:30 pm I had finished cleaning the kitchen. I know that is late, but I am a night owl. Anyway, I wanted to try a recipe for homemade Gatorade from Mom on a Mission. I mixed up a batch and opened the freezer portion of the refrigerator to get some ice. I found half ice cubes floating in water. I realized in a panic that the freezer was not as cold as it should be. I opened the fridge side and found the same thing. Then I realized that it was not running at all. Major panic set in at that point.
I grabbed a laundry basket and started tossing things from the freezer into it. All of that was stuffed in the large chest freezer in the laundry room. Next was the refrigerated stuff. I knew no one that was awake that late or had room even if they were. Then I remembered the refrigerator at my church's youth center. It is always empty, and the youth center is very close to my house.
Thankfully I only lost a few items, and even better the refrigerator was repaired with a $30 part. As a bonus, it is extremely cleaned and organized now.
The homemade Gatorade was delicious. I decreased with amount of sugar a bit on the second batch. I drive my husband crazy with the fact that I barely use any sugar in tea. Now he can have sweeter tea, and I will drink my homemade concoction. If not for the homemade Gatorade, the refrigerator would have set unworking all night, and I would have had a nasty surprise in the morning. That is how homemade Gatorade saved the day!
