fridge cleaning

[fred_mouse]

Our fridge appears to cycle instantaneously between 'overflowing' and 'out of ingredients' across the course of a week. In frustration, last night I pulled a whole pile of stuff out, and started sorting it. Turns out that there were *five* large pickle jars (~3L) at the bottom, each with enough brine in them for a couple lots of either polenta or risotto. Given that we haven't been cooking polenta or risotto, I made the executive decision to just pour All The Brine down the kitchen sink.

I feel a little guilty, and the jars still need washing and then will need rehoming (they are very popular, but tedious to rehome).

And I found fruit mince. *Old* fruit mince. Really need to cook something with that!

Well done on taking executive decisions that need making. Fridges are tricky things to manage when life keeps happening, but staying on top of it, does make life easier (and probably more healthful!) in the long run.

thanks. I'm perpetually amazed at how full the fridge manages to get, in particular with leftovers, when there are *two teenage males* in the house.
