Ours stopped working. (New one delivered yesterday.) What sucked was no milk or yogurt for my daughter. (She drinks a cup of milk a day and usually has yogurt for breakfast.)

And not having a freezer for ice (I prefer ICE ICE ICE cold drinks.) But, I realized in that time we could make do with a much smaller freezer. And we made it work. (Maybe a couple of meals of take out too many, though.) I did cook. I bought enough for meals and things that could be stored in the closet. But we have access to farmers markets twice a week, and there are three supermarkets in a one mile radius. Not everybody has that luxury.
