Mine *is* self-cleaning. Kind of.
Well, I had a gallon jug of water in there that happened to have an
undetectable hole in the bottom of it. This morning, the jug was virtually
empty and the shelves had all gotten a nice dose of presoak! You wouldn't
believe what was going on in the vegetable bin at the bottom.....
Anyway (an attempt to keep this on-topic!), when I was dealing with the
not-inconsiderable aftermath, I happened upon a jar of vinegar that had
once contained the habs from my garden that I wasn't able to use at picking
time. Flash of inspiration!!! Took a bunch of guajillos, a couple of chiles
de arbol, heated the vinegar, soaked the chiles in it, added some garlic,
onion, cumin, sugar, and oregano, threw it all in the Cuisinart, pureed the
works, then sauteed it in some peanut oil, and.....Adobo sauce!
Now I gotta figure out something intelligent to do with that that doesn't
involve the use of animal flesh......
