The smell of rotten seafood was overwhelming..

I'm not talking about New Orleans, where this is also the case. I'm talking about my house in Florida.

I decided to visit Atlanta for Labor day weekend, bypassing my usual weekend trip home.

So, after two weeks on the road, I arrived home to find that my refrigerator/freezer was broken. It turns out that it was forever stuck in defrost mode.

I lost about $300.00 worth of food and the repairs were about $250.00.

It's kind of funny because I never expected to have to deal with this kind of thing so I wasn't prepared to clean out the fridge. It took 3 large garbage bags to contain all of the bad stuff.

One tidbit to note: Get two large bowls and fill them both half-way with Armour Hammond baking soda. Put one in the freezer and one in the fridge to get rid of the bad smells. It took about 3 days to remove all of the evil odors.
