I cook and I can't seem to keep it looking great. It makes my Mom crazy...(Imagine that!) Anyway I love the thought of a great looking fridge in my future. bDavinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436677792458357476.post-45250143562626416332009-02-26T18:14:00.000-06:002009-02-26T18:14:00.000-06:00i've always reserved that task for moving day. wor...i've always reserved that task for moving day. works out well, when you move about once a year. <BR/><BR/>however, i am pretty good at getting the stinky leftovers out of there, before they get too stinky, cuz i just hate opening the fridge and being bowled over by the stench. <BR/><BR/>raisins (homemade, not to brag...) you do crack me up so!cakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18022650911172987454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436677792458357476.post-37372492818251405502009-02-23T23:24:00.000-06:002009-02-23T23:24:00.000-06:00Being the clean freak that I am, my frig is pretty...Being the clean freak that I am, my frig is pretty clean and I'm pretty clumsy, so i spill things often enough that I end up wiping the shelves once a week. Maybe now that your frig is really clean and organized, you can appreciate the efficientness of it. That's what sucks me! That and I have to throw away old food or my husband will heat it up and eat it for a snack :) Gross I know, but he doesn't pay attention much!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436677792458357476.post-87740490394685422702009-02-23T22:13:00.000-06:002009-02-23T22:13:00.000-06:00At least once a week BB asks "anything in here we ...At least once a week BB asks "anything in here we need to throw out?" For whatever reason, I now try to beat him to the punch so that we he poses the question I can say "no". However, he is still the one who has pulled out a shelf to clean it off more often than I have. Just yesterday I saw him remove the produce drawer to fetch a stray blueberry that was underneath. I thought to myself, "yeah, I probably just would have let that one go." I do appreicate a mostly clean fridge though. I seem to have the same issue mentioned by Bailey above...even when I've just gone to the store, my fridge still looks empty. No one in my house has starved yet though so I guess it has enough of the essentials. <BR/><BR/>As for an all out Kate cleaning (not a 4 hours one though), the only time I can say for sure that's been done was when the power was out for a few days (per "m" above), requiring most everything in the fridge and freezer to be thrown away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436677792458357476.post-17112323524679890832009-02-23T20:28:00.000-06:002009-02-23T20:28:00.000-06:00Power outage of three days circa Sept. did wonders...Power outage of three days circa Sept. did wonders for a totally cleaned out frig.

They were from Christmas Eve, leftover from a veggie lasagne my mom made while I was in the hospital having Acey.<BR/><BR/>For the record, old, old unwashed mushrooms don't necessarily look rotten.

Our fridge was so empty that when we got home and put all of the groceries away, it still looked empty. <BR/><BR/>But we do have bottled water, diet coke, unsalted butter from Costco, strawberries that have been in the fridge for a week and sour cream. You know, the essentials.Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18030837263386023474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436677792458357476.post-21512399811598934952009-02-23T08:19:00.000-06:002009-02-23T08:19:00.000-06:00I did do a little cleaning the other day when I re...I did do a little cleaning the other day when I realized a jar of olives had tipped over in the door and leaked brown juice all down it onto the floor under the fridge(the only portion of the floor I had gotten scrubbed the day before) but it is usually this kind of incident that leads me to do any sort of wiping out. I do usually do a sort and pitch after the grocery store run.
