Though I wonder if those of us in the humid South don't get *less*
humidity in the fridge.
And we *have* to put bulbs in the fridge (like tulips); to get the
artificial cooling. We are specifically told *in the fridge, the
CRISPER* but in paper bags to allow breathing rather than plastic bags.
So what gives?
