Am I the only one.....
.....that uses their garage as a refrigerator??
Space is limited this time of year, and as I started buying things for holiday social occasions, my boyfriend said: "We don't have anymore room in the refrigerator, you'll have to just buy things as you need them."
Huh?
Isn't that one of the benefits of living in Michigan, that we get to use the garage as cold storage? He thought I was absolutely crazy! We always did this growing up. We had coolers outside with stuff that needed to stay frozen (now I just use the trunk of my car that sits in the driveway and is seldom driven). When I lived in Alaska, almost everyone I knew had spare freezers outside, and used them in the winter for freezer space. But, I did find it very odd that when I moved to California, my washer & dryer were in the carport. We couldn't do that in Michigan!We were at an event last night, and the hostess said: "What am I going to do with all this leftover food, I have no room for it?" My boyfriend answered before me: "Just keep it in your garage!" I guess he has come around to not thinking I am so crazy!

I will put pop or stuff like that outside, but food, can't do it. Main reason is because we have a pet door on our side garage door(which is not an attached garage) for the outside cat to use. But mostly the raccoons and oppossum use it to eat the cat food. We have to strategically feed the cat or the wild animals take over. I live in the "deep, dark forest" as my nephews say when we drive down my road.
My sis just built a house in AZ and they put the washer, dryer and water heater outside. I told her her 'hillbilly' roots were showing and next she'd have a couch and chair out there and an old camaro up on blocks in the yard. LOL!

You just had reminded me of my sis too, she and my BIL live in the Fla. keys. They too had their washer and dryer in the garage of the house they sold a few years ago. I hated it, her garage was such a magnet for geccos. They used to scare the **** out of me. She had not gotten around to putting her couch, chair and camaro out either........lol

it's never too late
I don't have a garage but my parents do. They keep the pop out there and on holidays when Mom is hosting we put the food out there until it's time to put everything out there for dinner. At Thanksgiving we had a million pies.... so I put Dad's truck tailgate down and told my Aunts to put the pies out there. They looked at me strange (neither of them have garages), but it worked perfectly.
