Inside my refrigerator are the following:
1. 3 kinds of butter (Trader Joe’s organic unsalted; Kerrygold unsalted from Ireland, and something from Iceland that I fell prey to during a tasting event at Whole Foods)
2. Organic whole milk. The children have turned thumbs down to the raw goat milk we used to get, so this is pasteurized cow milk. We don’t use much.
3. 3 shriveled mushrooms. Oops.
4. Bacon. Mmm, bacon.
5. A partial tube of tomato paste. Did you know this stuff comes in a tube? How handy!
6. 3 bottles of Stewart’s Cream Soda. Michael’s addiction.
7. A carrot.
8. 3 kinds of apples from a local orchard: Honeycrisp (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!); Jonagold, and, uh, something else. Apples are highly prized here.
9. Leftover mole enchilada from going out the other night.
10. Leftover plain pancakes from this morning’s breakfast, a staple food for Eric.
11. Kalamata olives.
12. Half a bunch of celery.
13. A zucchini that shouldn’t be there anymore.
14. About 3 Wallaby organic yogurts.
15. Lettuce (organic, naturally. Green leaf.)
16. A little more bacon. Mmm, bacon. Bring on the nitrites!
17. 2 kinds of Brie.
18. Apple cider, from the orchard that brought us the apples.
19. Fresh cranberries, for making Serena’s favorite autumn offering, cranberry sauce.
20. Pickles.
21. Peanut butter.
22. Wheat germ.
23. “Squeezie” yogurt-in-a-tube, organic Stonyfield Farm.
24. Mozzarella cheese sticks (good for school lunches with #23).
25. About 3 other kinds of cheese.
26. Dijon mustard.
27. Leftover crock-pot chicken-vegetable stuff.
28. Mayo.
29. Organic red grapes.
30. Cream cheese.
31. Free-range organic chicken broth.
32. Leftover brown rice.
33. Organic free-range yada yada yada eggs.
So my fridge is full yet there’s nothing to eat here! What can I make with this stuff?
And, more importantly….what’s in YOUR fridge?
