Freezers and Refrigerators, Part I

Saint Peg has so much to say about freezers and refrigerators, and so much of it still applies forty years later, that I had to quote her, but I also had to do it in installments. Here is the first one: "A good thing to do with your freezer is to keep your sneakers in it, on hot summer days. Wash the pair you're not wearing in the washer, dry them in the dryer, then freeze them in cellophane bags. When you finally put your fresh-frozen sneakers on, they'll keep your feet cool for a couple of hours, even in very hot weather. (Bras, girdles and underpants feel better, too, if you keep them refrigerated. Not frozen, though- they'd be too stiff.)"
