Figuratively Chilling in the Freezer uncommon ambience

Freezer ambience — My mother froze practically everything, and the rest she refrigerated. This practice usually affected me around lunchtime on weekends. The hot dog buns were frozen, and the turkey franks were in the meat compartment of the fridge. "Sit down. It's lunchtime," she said, and if I could hear the microwave purring, that meant lunch was the usual, microwaved hot dog everything.
She would break one frozen bun brick from the rest by cracking it over the kitchen counter and then nestle in the refrigerated dog. She placed the whole thing in the microwave for one minute. Often the hotdog would come out of the microwave flopping off half of another bun that had broken off over the counter. It flopped like an extra steaming lip on the paper plate.
I don't know if you have ever microwaved a hotdog for one minute in the fridge... it explodes and shrivels into something only Freddy Krueger could love. The bun rages hot and soft, which unfortunately does not last long. As the Freddy sandwich cools, the bread stiffens into a foam texture if you don't eat it fast enough. In any case, don't ever microwave meat.
The freezer ambience has a chill, almost industrial grey noise vibe, and if you enjoy airplane cabin ambience, I think you will feel right at home in the freezer. Speaking of airplanes, I am a huge fan of the ambience but not fond of actually flying. I cover my fear of flying and how I use the bathroom to alleviate those fears here: https://thereelray.com/2019/08/02/dropping-a-duece-at-27000-feet/
