We are down to one child at home but ours still looks like yours (especially the condiment area). <BR/><BR/>My biggest problem with the fridge is being the child of depression-era parents so I can never throw away leftovers. I put them in containers, stick them in the fridge, and 75% of the time, they wind up a science experiment until I pitch them weeks later. Erma Bombeck wrote a hilarious piece about that, how we feel too guilty to throw away the leftovers when they are fresh but somehow letting them rot in the fridge for three weeks and then throwing them away removes all guilt.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing your fridge with us.Sandy C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15724518800430532026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-6904961605381305802008-07-27T09:14:00.000-04:002008-07-27T09:14:00.000-04:00There's something anti-climactic about being any c...There's something anti-climactic about being any comment after 51, but "Howl" by Ginsburg, (a classmate wrote a poem patterned on it but based on our college when I was an English major) and I know that that is not my fridge, because as a single person, produce goes to my fridge to die. I don't think I've ever purchased raw cabbage. But salsa, yes, I might have more than one bottle. And I like your little drop down "Comment as" thing a ma bob.

Perhaps you'll be hearing from those companies with offers of lifetime supplies.<BR/><BR/>And, while I did not lobby for a picture of your fridge, I was oddly comforted by it. Now when my husband tells me, repeatedly as he is wont to do, to clean the fridge, I will show him these pictures, tell him I am a perfectly average housekeeper and that maybe he should just adjust his standards. Maybe.
