Always strive to learn something useful. --Sophocles

Let me explain. :-)

I do overnight oats. I make it up before I go to bed: a packet of Nature's Path Maple Nut Instant Oatmeal, made with whole milk, add a teaspoon or two of maple syrup, stir thoroughly, and put in the fridge. The oats fully hydrate overnight, and I have a very yummy breakfast after nuking it. The oats are much fluffier than just throwing it all together and placing it in the microwave, completely different texture. And never use water to make oatmeal! So much better with milk.

It didn't look quite right when I pulled it out this morning. I quickly noticed there was an exceedingly thin film of ice on it. Just stirring it was enough to mostly break it up, and the texture was otherwise fine. I went and told Russet, she'd previously told me that it was 46f when she took the dogs out for a walk in the wee small hours and the house was about 65.

She said, "That's weird. Last night I made some food, and it was really hot so I put it in the fridge... on... the... top... shelf... by... the... temperature... control..."

We both laughed. She'd accidentally spoofed the temperature control into cranking itself down low to compensate for the hot food placed underneath it.

I walked back in a couple of minutes later and said "You know, my dad would have so loved that story!" She nodded and said "Yes, he would have."
