Was this in response to some kind of prompt? I'm not sure y'all would want to know what's in MY fridge. LOL! Could be anything from food to dead ferrets (awaiting necropsy) to poop and/or urine samples to ferret meds. I'm sure my kitchen would get a "D" rating.
Prompt? Uhhh...I guess you could say that.
Barb, we were just all prompted to do an inventory of something. Do your junk drawer or your pipe collection. We're just having fun :)
I can think of a couple of people that I'd love to feed out of your frig.
Some folks are just deserving of a nice case of salmonella.
You really don't want me cataloguing the stuff in my fridge! Or rather, I don't want to expose such a list in public. I really don't need the Health Dept. people showing up here in hazmat suits.
We know there's some left over gumbo in there, Roy. And, did you shoot that squirrel after the photo?
Time to hit the grocery store, Vicky. My kids send me about three times or more per week even if we get down to only four gallons of milk and three full 18-count cartons of eggs. They mostly want berries, bananas, apples, pears, & salad ingredients.
Your kids sound way too healthy. You need to load them up on Handi-Snacks, greasy potato chips and Lunchables.
They're missing out on their childhoods!
Get them some white bread, Velveeta and Miracle Whip. They'll never gripe about being hungry again.
I'm all for the grease, but I use conola oil in my deep fryer. :-)
I am aslo a fan of sugar (a BIG fan--especially sugar and butter), but it has to be in something I make or something with approved ingredients.
Grease and sugar and my friends (just ask poor Jim who does not have such a fast metabolism). I just don't like additives, corn syrup, or hydrogenated ingredients, you see.
I remember metabolism. Mine deserted me about 3 years ago.
Since I have a relatively new frig, my contents are pretty current.
Except for that dead midge at the bottom, that I've already photographed and Kevin is writing a song about.
Oh, yeah. You heard it here first.
I agree with Marilee, time to go grocery shopping Vicky ;-)
I don't know about all that stuff with the "fuzzy" edges...guess it depends on how hungry you are and how much you dislike grocery shopping ;-)
Rose, since Van went back to working evenings, the GOOD stuff is in the freezer... you know, the Stouffer's lasagne, etc. Have to have stuff to put that butter on. Which, butter is $1.59 at Aldi's right now. Mega cheap!
I understand the butter thing ;-) When my and my brother were kids one of our favorite afterschool snacks was a slice of "light" bread slathered with butter and then covered with a good sprinkling of sugar..Yummy ;-)
Lord butter costs an arm and a leg here at Publix!
Oh! Sugar bread! I didn't know anyone else in the world ever ate that!
I had those type of sandwiches at other peoples houses growing up. My mother did not think they were good for us.
That's a tad bit scary Vicky...At least if anyone ever broke in to your house and decided to grap a snack out of your fridge you could track them down...at the nearest hospital or in your bathroom hugging the toliet
My mom used to do a great commentary for guests rooting through her fridge. She's list each item and tell them whether or not you could eat it even though it was moldy. Cleared the room every time.
Vicky: I have had that refrigerator in the past. We might now, but I refuse to look.
I cleaned out my husband's aunt's refrigerator last year and found expire dates in the 90s. She died. I don't know if there was a link.
See, this is one more reason I like you so much. Your fridge is just as weird and bare as mine. If I lived closer to you, I would buy you some Heinz Ketchup -- you've got a friend in me! :)
Yes, the Aldi's ketchup is very disturbing.
Why, Vicky, why?
I have nothing to plead other than I was there and so was it.
Now I feel like a freakin saint.
Thanks.
Very little cooking goes on around here anymore, and now you know why.
i don't want to know the dates of some things in my fridge. fortunately we just cleaned out the 18 tupperware tubs that were clogging up the fridge, dating back till lord only knows when.
Van brings home his tupperware supper containers, about a week later. Ewwwoooo.
I wonder what is in my freezer?
You know what's in your freezer, Grems?
A Gather article. ;-)
tht would mean actually looking in there and I avoid it since I know there is no ice cream in there.
Just make it up as you go along.
As Pittsburgh is my hometown, like Janna, I, too, must scold you for NOT having Heinz Ketchup on hand. And call the crappy stuff from Aldi's "catsup," please.
I haven't cleaned out my fridge since the power came back on. I need a truck.
Um, how long ago was the power out?
Been a coupla months now.
It's probably okay.
What flavor wax suppositories?
Mr. Kitteh... ugh!
You are so brave.
Well after hearing about this inventory, it looks like you need to hit up Van to take you out for a steak dinner. ha ha ha
I don't even want to think about what is in my fridge right now. I am scared to take inventory, especially the stuff that's been pushed to the back.
