What's in your fridge?

[Farren]

I found this site, fridgephoto (http://home.casema.nl/project1972/), wierdly fascinating. A friend of mine directed me to it after he put a photo of his fridge, which is basically filled with nothing but yoghurt and a lone plastic bottle of wasabi, on the site. My fridge, which I have had in for a week (for a couple of weeks after moving I had no fridge) has only yoghurt, ice and milk, because I haven't done any serious grocery shopping and was living on stuff that keeps at room temperature for a while.

What's in your fridge?

[livius drusus]

Wow. People drink a lot. Right now my fridge is in desperate need of a cleaning, so I won't delve on what's in it.

[Ymir's blood]

A partially full gallon jug of artificially sweetened tea; a partially full half gallon of skim milk;various sauces and condiments including but not limited to soy sauce, A1, mustard, and ketchup; slices of Amerian cheese; a partial loaf of wheat bread; hoagie style wheat rolls; an opened bottle of red wine.

[HighOnHotSauce]

Not much to speak of really, outside of the normal refrigerator stuff. There’s some milk, fruit, diet Dr.Pepper, orange juice, grape juice and the usual condiments: ketchup, mustard, horseradish and a dozen or so bottles of hot sauce. There are also jars of pickles, jalapeno peppers, hot banana pepper rings, olives and salad dressing. I’m quite sure there is some yogurt, cheese, lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, radishes and green bell peppers in there as well…..

[pescifish]

Wow. People drink a lot. Yeah, that's what I was thinking while looking through those photos. Here's mine, though the top shelf would have a 3 guart pitcher of iced tea if it weren't sitting next to me, ready to refill my glass.

Things of possible note:
Glucosamine/Chondritin Joint Max for the dogs and Moet & Chandon White - top shelf
half a bullet of buffalo mozzarella - second shelf
styrofoam container has leftover slice of chocolate cake from dinner out last Saturday (I never ate it, but I've been using it to deliver the dogs allergy pills) - third shelf
bird food and batteries - fourth shelf
bowl of jalapenos, serranos, sweet peppers, anaheims & two corn cobs - fifth shelf
low stocked veggie drawer (there are a couple of poblano chiles in there)
cheese drawer

At the moment, more science projects than food. :D

Milk, a bottle of Big Beastie, half a bottle of white wine, bottled water, kinder eggs (duh), pink salmon, cheese, pork mince, raspberry jam, glace cherries, Dijon mustard, margarine and steroid cream.

Yes, yes, I know what you're thinking. But trust me. After years of skin problems, I have discovered that applying steroid cream straight from the fridge does wonders for cooling down the eczema-itch.

I don't have much in the freezer. I'm trying to eat everything so I can defrost it soon; I have what looks like an iceberg growing in there. Just some breaded cod, fishcakes, garlic chicken and veggieburgers. (Not mine, God no, they were for a veggie guest).

[livius drusus]

Hey some veggieburgers are great. It's all about the spicing. Now Kinder eggs straight from the fridge are pleasure in its purest form.

[Corona688]

Other than veggies and spices, nothing edible. That's what comes from the family going on one of these retarded low-carb diets. I have to smuggle in bread.

batteries - fourth shelf

Why do people put batteries in the fridge?

[xyza]

Peaches don't lie, you're prepared for when I arrive with my man :beaugest:

My fridge has milk, jelly, fruit, cheese, cream, loads of Spanish cooked meats and cheeses, jams, biscuits ... And stuff that I don't remember because none of it's mine.
I have a few veggie bits and pieces in the fridge, cooking bangers and mash for the man before he returns to the hospital tonight so I bought him fresh veggie sausages instead of frozen.

My part of the freezer is again full of food for him, all veggie stuff. And nothing for me, the meat eater, as I eat at work, and if I'm cooking for him I'll eat veggie.

[Veritas]

Well you are welcome to visit, you can see the bright lights of Dundee. *Cough*.

I also have eggs now, and my kitchen smells of burnt chocolate cake. The buttercream icing turned out well, shame about the cake-mistake.

[livius drusus]

Burned chocolate can be pretty good, though. I love the carbonized edges of chocolate cake.

[Veritas]

Carbon!

Liv, this was charcoal! :lechef:

[livius drusus]

Oh, well, in that case: :mocking:

[xyza]

See, I told you the stomach pump was the right option when you asked :couch:

[Veritas]

Once I cut off the burnt bit (just a bit near the edge) it was okay. Trouble is I didn't put enough mix in the tin and it was a bit flat. Still, next time I'll know: more cake mix and don't let the edge of the tin go anywhere near the element in the oven.

[Dingfod]

Currently:
Most of a gallon jug of Frank's Louisiana Hot Sauce
Quart jug of Ragu spaghetti sauce
Quart carton of skim milk (probably bad)
Most of a pound of butter
Britta water pitcher
Two 2-L bottles of Diet Dr Pepper
Quart of sour cream
Seven or eight single-servings of yogurt
Imported black olives
One pound of pork sausage
Two pounds of beef link sausage
About 3 pounds of bacon or bacon ends and pieces
One ribeye steak
One t-bone steak
Apples
Tomatoes
Plums
One bag of green salad mix
Quarter watermelon
Pint container of little champagne grapes
3 pound pot roast (cooked)
3/4 pound of BBQ pork chops
3 quarts of chili I made yesterday
Pint of chicken livers
2 pound bag of shredded cheese mix
Flour tortillas
String cheese
Apples juice
Sugar-free lemonade
Apple Butter
Pickles
Jalapeno slices
Condiments including Kerry-Heinz ketchup, yellow and various spicy mustards, steak sauce, two varieties of BBQ sauce, Worchestershire sauce, Louisiana hot sauce, Pace picante sauce, etc.

Nobody better complain about there being nothing to eat here. I made the pot roast and BBQ pork chops in the split chambered crock pot, and chili on the stovetop yesterday. In fact, I think I'll go warm up the pork chops right now.

[livius drusus]

What are champagne grapes? Surely not the actual ones from the Champagne region of France from which the sparkling white is made? If so, cool. Either way, how are they?

[Dingfod]

No, they're little baby grapes, these happened to be purple ones, but they did have the green ones too.

[livius drusus]

Sounds yum. I love grapes. The Tivoli area in the hills outside Rome has these long, incredibly crisp, sweet grapes. I dream of them sometimes.

[Dingfod]

They're pretty good, sweet.

[Veritas]

I love green seedless grapes. I don't put them in the fridge, they don't last that long.

[Veritas]

I mean, when I buy them they don't last long enough to get to the fridge, I wolf them down straight away.

[livius drusus]

Huh. And yet, you have Kinder eggs in your fridge. Care to explain yourself, missy? :noid:

[Veritas]

Delayed gratification. An orgasm is more intense if it is delayed, and so it is also with the pleasure of the kinder egg.

Grapes? Pah! Healthy. No sugar hit from them, so it's safe to eat them straight away.

See?

[livius drusus]

You make a crazy kind of sense.

[pescifish]

Why do people put batteries in the fridge?'Cuz otherwise I wouldn't know where to find them!

It's vestigial learned behavior from childhood. The concept was that the colder temperature would arrest any residual chemical reactions that occur as the batteries hang around. Back when my father did it, batteries probably were more prone to discharging issues than new-fangled high-tech ones these days. I've known for many years that it's not really useful anymore (and cold batteries should be warmed up before use!), but I still keep the batteries there. I'd have to develop a whole new battery storage paradigm in my household if I abandoned that location. It would signal the end of life as I know it, so I continue my superstitious ways.

livius, champagne grapes are 'in season' at Diamond Organics (http://www.diamondorganics.com/ShowView/product/1557/303). I got a bunch in my first sampler -- they seemed sweeter than standard seedless red grapes but less so than seedless green, quite delicious and lots of fun in their little itty-bittiness.

[HighOnHotSauce]

battery storage paradigm .
I love this phrase, I must find a way to use it in conversation, with full credit given of course.

[pescifish]

:laugh:
I'd love to hear about it when such a situation comes up!

I found a link to an article here (http://www.engineerguy.com/comm/3660.htm) that confirms the futility of my ol' fogey ways.

[Veritas]

It's vestigial learned behavior from childhood. The concept was that the colder temperature would arrest any residual chemical reactions that occur blah blah blah lots of technical stuff...

Plus it stops them transmitting the voices to your brain that say "Kill! Kill! Kill!" :heh:

[pescifish]

Wow, I've been missing out on all that fun all these years?! Definitely time for a new paradigm!

[Ensign Steve]

Mine just has condiments and batteries. I just got back in from a six-week trip, and I emptied it before I left. Must go shopping!

Me too. I considered moving them when I learned that it was wrong to store them there, but then I would never ever find them again, and that would be even worse!

Some snags
You have dead but still standing trees in your firdge? :chin:

[Leesifer]

snags = sausages for non-Aussie speakers.
