Don't they make that now with pots?  Garden pots that is. I saw it somewhere on the ole web.

Here's an informative site:  http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&...;usg=AFQjCNGuXXXEv937MA1MNW9Hyh1wPLvLyQ  The problem with pots is that they're heavy.. and fragile. ..Willy. edit.. see if the above link works.

&nbsp;I find that refrigeration makes a HUGE difference in my food choices and, indeed, allows me to buy cheaper (and often fresh) items and keep stuff like leftovers for however long I wish. I'm lucky re. what I have, but there are those that just can't afford something decent; one of these units might just do the trick. ..Willy.

I like the link!&nbsp; It has the virtue of using&nbsp;abundant and usually free good old H2O.&nbsp;&nbsp; <br /><br />If you have the money to buy some ice &amp; salt, consider:&nbsp; <br /><br />Ice and salt.&nbsp; We use it to make homemade ice cream.&nbsp; The reason ice and salt works to make ice cream is because it is a refrigeration phase change processs.&nbsp; Using a thermometer you will see that when you put salt on ice the mix shoots down to better than 10 degrees below zero (F).&nbsp; When my family makes ice cream and leaves the ice salt mix in the bucket - the ice mix is still there in the morning.&nbsp; <br /><br />My point is this:&nbsp; A well insulated cooler with just ice in it will only get down to 32 degrees.&nbsp; Mix salt with it and you have the coldest beer in town.<br /><br /><br />

WRONG.. you HAD the coldest beer in town, till all the mooches found out about it. Need a 'decoy cooler' with some warm 'n nasty brew: 'Help yourself bro.. beer's in the cooler.' Ahhh-HAHAHAAA! The looks on their faces! ..Willy.<br /><br />

<br /><br />&nbsp;Yup, sure is. A little bit of nasty can take ya a long way in this world.. but everything in moderation though.
