fridge with CC/staple food

Post by harma »

today I went to a big supermarket with a friend (with car) and stocked up lots of my staple food. While I was storing it in my fridge, it crossed my mind, what would other people think if they could see my fridge? She is a lunatic? There must be something wrong with her eating habits. Of just a lazy cook??

Maybe all a little true with applesauce and fruit tins a staples. But at least it is simple and clear with: fish (frozen and canned), chicken, broccoli, carrots, rice, applesauce, tins of fruit, olive oil, a couple of package with fruit juice and of course the always easy to take with you bananas.

Once I know the supermarket it is really amazing how quick I can make my round
:cool: :cool: :cool:

here some pictures of my simple and clear fridge:

Your neat and half-empty refrigerator puts mine to shame. I've got tomatoes starting to get funny, squash that I didn't dare try to eat and finally had to throw out, pudding containers and many other strange items. I love the lean look of yours.

As nice as your fridge looks to me, it would never happen in my family of five with a husband who's a classically trained chef. :sigh:

Hi Harma!

Thanks for sharing your fridge photos - I think that's a first here! I enjoy seeing your spare and organized array of safe foods. More and more lately, I find myself craving simplication in my life. I have been getting rid of lots of "stuff" around the house. Of course, none of us would wish to have the food limitations we have, but as you point out, it DOES make shopping easier. Also, I have read that having too many choices can be a cause of stress. I know that's true for me.

Hugs,

Polly

I'm trying to remember when I had a refrigerator that neat, but I'm not having any luck. :lol: About once a year, I'll find it necessary to throw out a bunch of junk that's been in there for years, in order to make room for more junk that will probably need to be thrown out in another year or two. :lol:

I wish mine was as neat as those photos, but I know it's never gonna happen. :roll:

I am definitely doing some fridge cleaning today! (At the end of which, at least I'll know what's in there...)

I doubt no one will question what is in your fridge... it is full of healthy nuturing foods

Dear Harma,

Your refrigerator looks great! Mine doesn't look anything like that--clearly it's a cultural thing, and the rest of us have messy refrigerators because we're Americans. Except for Gabes, and she didn't say hers is messy, so that just proves my point! :smile:

Love,
Martha

My fridge is pretty empty, as is my pantry. Meat and potatoes. That's all. And now some green beans.
Tidy? That's another story.

We have some OCD folks on here. I am NOT one of them.
