What's in your refrigerator?

[deepfryerdan]

I thought of a new game as I was peering into my refrigerator last night. I love looking at user's photos and MTV Cribs has made everyone think that what's actually in your fridge is important. So, take a photo of your refrigerator, upload it, and tell us about some stuff that's in it. How about we start it up? I'll begin.

Left door: Worcestershire, Frank's Hot, A1, Tabasco, Heinz Ketchup Pump!, Coffee creamer
Right Door: Sweet baby ray's, a plethora of mustards, soy sauce, ranch and southwest dressings
Center: Milk, some homemade barbecue sauces. Bertolini vodka sauce, Walmart brand Yogurt, my wife's lunch box, bread, leftovers, grapes, and the bottom drawer is full of cheeeeeese.

Unfortunately I don't own a camera! But yours is hardly loaded compared to mine. On the other hand, I can't imagine using that much catsup in my lifetime! I have about a half-dozen jars of friend-made preserves, pickles, relishes, sauces that I do need to start looking at!

It's just my wife and I so we don't keep much in there but she's a ketchup fiend.

Where'd you get the pic of my fridge?

 

[Claire]

Yeah, there are only the two of us as well, but you'd never guess it by the food in the house! I too have an entire drawer full of cheese. A few things you keep in the fridge, I just keep in the pantry (most hot sauces, soy sauce), but we go through them quickly enough that it isn't an issue, and 9 months out of the year you can hang meat in my pantry (not kidding, olive and peanut oils will solidify in my pantry in all but July and August).

Man, you have lousy taste in beer!

 

[pacanis]

Give me domestic or give me death, Andy.

 

[Andy M.]

Give me domestic or give me death, Andy.

I agree!

 

[Claire]

Oh, if I loaded my fridge with that beer I suspect I wouldn't be married!

 

[pacanis]

OK, we'll give you Sam Adams.

Oh, dear, never lived in Hawaii, have you? I miss almost all the cuisine there except ... Spam!

I guess if you look at Spam as a sausage kind of meat product, you know not to ask too many questions and just enjoy the flavor.

This past winter, we were on vacation in Aruba and participated in a Hawaiian themed pool party.

I made sweet and sour smoked spam on toothpicks with chunks of fresh pineapple. SO had concerns that it was a lousy idea and no one would eat it but, to quote a movie title, it was "Gone in Sixty Seconds"

 

[deepfryerdan]

I never knew it was a big thing like that - in the midwest it gets looked over more than brussel sprouts do.

 

[Andy M.]

I know what you mean. Prior to the party, I hadn't had it for maybe 30 years.
