Chapter 6

In Chapter 6 Mr. and Mrs. Brende get into one of their first arguments. Mrs. Brende is not happy about having to cook three meals a day and wants a way to refrigerate leftovers. When I read that there was a possibility of them getting a fridge I have to admit I was disappointed. It is part of the lifestyle not to have technological advances. A refrigerator uses so much electricity that I think it would have been cheating. However, by the end of the chapter Mr. Brende figures out how to preserve leftovers in cold water. I was very pleased that they didn’t resort to electricity or even propane because they don’t need it. Maybe Mrs. Brende can create her own cookbook for dishes that do not require refrigeration to stay fresh.
