What is in your refrigerator right now?

[Phurstluv]

Quick, think fast: what is in your refrigerator right now? I know it's nosy, but besides the usual eggs & milk, what different things do you have in cold storage that you either have plans for or not? Sort into the following categories....
Seasonal:
I have 1/2 a cantaloupe
an avocado
1/2 head of iceberg, 1/2 head of romaine, wild arugula
wild onions, parsley, basil

Leftovers:
3/4 Rotisserie chicken
peach & watermelon fruit salad
Biscuit shortcakes
hard boiled eggs, cooked bacon
wilted greens

New:
Bob's Big Boy Roquefort Dressing
Bear Pit BBQ sauce

Waiting...:
Mozzarella bocconcini
pancetta cubetti
chicken thighs in a buttermilk-herb marinade
camembert
super-lump crabmeat

Cant wait to go to the Farmer's Market tomorrow in Santa Monica, and get some more peaches, berries, tomatoes, greens and herbs. My fridge is actually quite bare, than the way it usually looks! Can I peek into your fridge?

[evewitch]

2 gallons of milk, open (one fine, one probably needs to be chucked)
1/2 gallon whole buttermilk (prolly also dead)
leftover crappy beer (Busch light, Old Milwaukee, one lone can of PBR that was found outside and is surely skunky) - from a party this weekend
a huge almost empty jug of white zin - ditto
blue Gatorade
orange Gatorade
heavy cream
diet peach tea
huge flour tortillas
a package of Keebler Fudge Stripes which I'm sure only has 2 in it
I think there is a similar package of Vienna Fingers unless my husband ate them (no clue why he keeps them in the fridge)
eggs - 18 pack, but not full
dry sherry
leftover braised lemon chicken - some sauce and pickings, plus one whole piece that got left on the counter overnight and will probably have to be pitched
leftover Southern-style green beans
leftover steak
leftover mashed sweet potatoes
sour cream
huge jar of Mt. Olive dill pickles with 2 left
huge jar of Claussen dill spears
bacon
celery
bag o salad
parsley
organic dill that was bought & not used & probably bad
cherries (OK, I'm actually eating these right now)
a small container of lemon juice
probably Sriracha
definitely a small jar of chili-garlic sauce (the one that has seeds)
Jack Daniels BBQ sauce (this stuff is foul)
dijon mustard
yellow mustard
spicy brown mustard
mayo
ketchup
pickled jalapenos
Claussen sandwich slices
Kraft shredded mozz, 5-cheese Italian, and 4-cheese Mexican (sale) plus I think another open package of mozz
sliced Sorrento cheese - colby jack and chedder
some sliced deli Sara Lee provolone - this is horrid and there is at least 1/2 lb left, but it's still there because my daughter says she'll eat it
bottled salad dressing - at least 3, including the Ranch that is the reason the dill is going bad
bacon bits

Had to cheat and look:
butter (always in there - can't believe I forgot)
small square of Cabot extra sharp cheddar
yes, there is sriracha
Kalamata olives
Polaner strawberry preserves
Bonne Maman blueberry preserves (can't believe I forgot I bought this! - it was refrigerated unopened)
sweet relish
Swanson organic chicken broth
2 leftover chicken wings
A1
Frank's red hot
hoisin sauce
small bottle of water
bread (not homemade)
4 pork chops
sour cream
Land O Frost sliced turkey
a small bowl of some concoction of my daughter's - mayonnaise mixed with chili-garlic sauce, I think
an open package of the Kraft 5-cheese Italian

Thanks to DishDelish for replying to this. I finally have my food inspiration back. I have been meh for weeks!

[Phurstluv]

Very impressive list! I especially love the asides!! Like the one with the lemon chicken! Great, gave me a good chuckle, thanks!

ps, if i listed my fridge's contents, chow would kick me off for using up too much server space.

[cookieluvntasha]

I really shouldn't reply to this post because I am obsessive about having a full fridge and cabinets...just in case... I'll start at the top and work down
1/2 gallon turkey hill green tea
1 quart buttermilk
1 pint heavy cream
bottle of Ocean Spray 100% juice cranberry juice
MEGA Green juice

[Phurstluv]

Four dozen eggs? I thought I was bad buying a dozen & a half! Do you ever use them all or are they in rotation?!

And fwiw, you don't need to refrigerate your shallots. They keep fine with the onion & potatoes in the dark dry pantry.

And don't feel bad - I too am a little obsessive, bordering hoardish, by having 2 stocked pantries at all times! Hey, in CA, we never know when disaster may strike - literally!

[cookieluvntasha]

I bake ALOT. More so for family, friends, and for treats to take to work, so that is why I go through eggs so quickly. I do rotate them, especially when I have fresh eggs. Thanks for the tip on the shallots, I'll take them out when I get home tonight.

[mpjmph]

Fruit/Veg: 3 lbs golden delicious apples, 2 lbs carrots, 5 small leeks that I need to use ASAP, 1 bell pepper, 5 serrano peppers. I get my weekly CSA delivery today so will have more vegetables tonight!

Beverages: 2 cartons of plain Silk and a lot of beer left over from a party. I only drink 1 beer/week, so I'm stocked for a while.

lots of various condiments
homemade salsa verde
homemade apple jelly
Scott's BBQ sauce
string cheese
jar of bacon grease
turkey breast cold cuts
cheddar cheese

In the freezer: pork fat back, bacon, 3 chicken leg quarters, several single serve containers of homemade soup, homemade paletas (strawberry/cream and pineapple/cream)

I'm sure there is more, but that's all I can think of right now.

[Phurstluv]

Saute those leeks up in some butter until they caramelize and you have a wonderful confit.

[jenniferrt]

I also have assorted fruit that I keep collecting from the market, it just looks so good. I have to make a fruit salad.

I have half a roast pork loin, that was absolutely heavenly, made the house smell like rosemary & garlic when I made it. And two prime rib eyes, that I must use up tonight. Deciding between a steak chili with cornbread, or just slicing the steak into some blue cheese spaghetti....

I have a pound of ground beef for cheeseburgers for lunch for the boys tomorrow. A ton of cheese, as usual, including but not limited to cheddars, cotija, mozzarella in a few different forms, gruyere, parmeggiano wedge, the list goes on..

No wine, bring mixers and beer only. Must pair with smoky BBQ.

[Phurstluv]

[Cinnamon]

Good on the tomatoes, 'cause those were sounding like the weak link from Snix's fridge.

[Sam Fujisaka]

I deduce that p506 is in LA so she posted at mid-night, unless the posting times are local.

[Phurstluv]

Good point, I thought they were local.

[Sam Fujisaka]

I don't really know. They may be local times.

[Phurstluv]

After a good night's sleep & some coffee this am I thought about it. They must be local otherwise everyone's times would be different on each person's pc, which seems unlikely.

Clearly, I have the makings of an amazing meal in there...

[Sam Fujisaka]

Hilarious. And you don't keep your Old Crow and SF Soup Company soup in there?

[Cinnamon]

I think you're one of only a small handful on this list who have fessed up to something on the order of 'moldy chipotle pepper' and 'rotten eggs' - be careful with those chicken breasts. I suppose this will spawn a 'high meat' discussion now.

There is a strategy of shopping for things that don't spoil easily... you've got it started there with the capers and soy sauce and olives. Might be worth expanding on. It's one of several themes I keep working on.

[Phurstluv]

You're right, Cinnamon, there's an art to hoarding so as not to have rotting food! With two full refrigerators, freezers and pantries, I believe I have achieved it! It involves a lot of rotation and discipline!!

I didn't think chipotles got moldy, I've had mine in the fridge so long, and have still used them! But yes, I think you need to get rid of the chicken, fistalee. Just let it go!

[Michelly]

Chipotles do eventually get moldy, but it does take a long time. Luckily, they're not too expensive.

forgot one of the more used things in the frig CAPERS used at least 5 times a week

[Cinnamon]

Deep-fried capers with a salad along the lines of a Caesar are wonderful (w/filet mignon too). Haven't sussed out yet whether fresh are needed vs. drying and then deep-frying the fridge ones packed in brine.

[lcool]

For frying you want the dry salt packed rather than brined capers.A short cold water rinse,dry, then fry.They are a wonderful texture,salt,complex flavor addition to many things.salads,sauted fish,chicken and mango and onion relish/salsa

[Cinnamon]

Thank you. The deep-fried were just spectacular on a salad I had at a little place up in Eureka, Calif. (the area had unusually good food, not sure how we lucked out with that).

[crabby_cakes]

I am not sure I understand your categories, but I will give it a shot:

Seasonal: lettuce, cucumbers, onions

Leftovers: Thai takeout noodles, Chinese takeout kung pao chicken, the carcass of a rotisserie chicken, roasted potatoes, some green beans with almonds

New: sliced deli ham, cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, apples, Sam Adams, apple sausages from Trader Joe's, wasabi mayonnaise

Waiting: do you mean waiting to be eaten? That would be everything.

[Phurstluv]

Well, I mean, waiting for some inspiration to do something with it, like an impulse purchase or one of your standard staples for a recipe you're making later on.

For example, I have some super lump pasteurized crabmeat that expires this summer, so it's waiting for me to make crab cakes or a seafood bake or a salad for cucumber cups. That was an impulse purchase, but I knew it had a long shelf life so I can play with it.

I also have some pancetta cubetti that I tend to use in a spaghetti carbonnara dish but I can also use in a salad, frittata or risotto. It's a staple - I usually pick it up when I see it at TJs, but it's waiting for me to decide.

[Phurstluv]

So it looks like many of us are condiment heavy! Which is good thing in my opinion! I hadn't even bothered listing mine - there are so many! Some of you keep things in the fridge that I don't like hot sauces & soy sauce,worcestershire. Those are in the pantry.

I'm also lucky b/c I have a full second fridge & freezer in the garage. It was original to the house, not very old, but kept freezing my produce & eggs. So we replaced it w/ an armoir style amana and put the side by side outside. That's where most of the meat storage is, and a full wine & beer, sodas & waters, yogurts & extra cheese & lunchmeats for the kids are stored. That leaves the main fridge free to put in large dishes when prepping for a party.

[cimui]

jumping jehosepha, you have *three* refrigerators?! me and my small brain would never be able to remember what was in them all. i would need a card catalogue or book of reference to keep track. as it is, we have three bottles of the same mustard because we kept forgetting that we already have some and bought more every time we had a barbecue!

[Phurstluv]

No, no, just two! But they are full of similar things! ;)

[Michelly]

I do, too. The one in the garage holds my dh's beers as well as all the different flours that I use for baking and overstock juice boxes and milk and, when I make it, the sourdough starter.

And Phurstluv! Did you go to that booth at the Sta. Monica Farmer's Market and buy up all the onion sprouts!!?? You cecotrope! Leave some for me next time!
Now I'll have to make ice cream with all these avocados. (Which isn't bad, except that no one in my family likes avocado ice cream except me, so I have to eat it all, then pull out the fat clothes).
And don't recommend guacamole; I ALWAYS have guacamole.

[bermudagourmetgoddess]

I have a 39 cubic foot refrigerator and 39 cubic foot freezer (for the house) and then my husband has 3 24.9 Cubic foot chest freezers...

I added homemmade salsa last night for grilled tacos tonight...hello yummy

[Phurstluv]

I did not! I did look at the booth tho! Don't eat sprouts - don't like their aroma! Gotta ask tho - how do you clean them?

And grill some of those avos for your salad. No more ice cream!

[Michelly]

If you like onions, you'll like the onion sprouts. To clean, run a handful under the faucet, then gently squeeze out excess water, place in paper towel and pat until sufficiently dry.
As for the avos, salads it is. Bought pinkertons, haas, fuertes, and gwens, and will treat the family to a taste test tonight.
By the way, go by the Carlsbad seafood booth and have a fresh-shucked, ice-cold oyster. Wonderful!

[Phurstluv]

Really - may have to try the onion sprouts.

Have you bought any fish or seafood from them before?

[Michelly]

My husband and I ALWAYS eat some just-shucked oysters from them, and when we can ever remember to pack a small igloo with ice, I'm planning 2 lbs. of clams for linguine with fresh clam sauce.
We just never remember the igloo 'til we get there. Will put a post-it-note on the door right now.

[Phurstluv]

Good idea. Love the linguine w/clam sauce idea. I can't get my DH to eat much seafood, so I'd have to stick w/fish. Will definitely check them out tomorrow.

Will be getting more peaches, too. The last batch was pretty bruised up and did not last the week. The strawberries from the place on 2nd, near the sprouts, are still amazingly sweet, a week later, in the fridge.

[bayoucook]

Me too. We moved the fridge that came with the house downstairs plus bought a small chest freezer. We bought a three-door/frreezer on the bottom s.s. fridge for the kitchen, which I love. I keep dark spices, beer and wine, not-often-used condiments and jellies and such downstairs, and use it when we entertain down there (downstairs is a huge open great room off the outdoor "kitchen"). Very useful.

[Phurstluv]

I know, I couldn't live without them now!! Even tho it freezes stuff, I use it like a meat locker with some roast or ribs dry-brining or prepped to freeze. I also have it full of mini condiments that we usually take when we go rv'ing up the coast.

[Veggo]

I took a look-see in the back of those lower shelves and the veggie drawers. Thank goodness tomorrow is a garbage pick-up day.

[cuccubear]

Taking liberties with your categories Phurstluv (I really need to get to the grocery), here is what I can recall:

Vegetables/fruits – romaine, celery (getting rubbery), cilantro, 1 small zucchini, pickled jalapenos, lemons, limes, 1 red onion, capers, green olives, jar of roasted red peppers, sweet pickles,

Meat – chicken livers, gizzards and pork liver (for Trixie), stir fry beef strips

Dairy – butter, both salted and unsalted, milk, eggs, a chunk each of parmesan and colby cheeses, sour cream, buttermilk

Beverages - Frostie Root Beer, Yuengling Lager, Magic Hat IPA, PBR, pitcher of grape kool-aid, tonic water

Condiments/Sauces - oyster sauce, ketchup, dijon, coarse ground and sweet mustards, a scrape or two of JFG mayo, a very old jar of pumpkin butter, grape jam, chili sauce, homemade mustard vinaigrette, blackberry preserves, dill pickles, pickle relish, chow chow, yellow mustard, chili paste, a jar of some kind of chopped, green chiles I can’t remember the name of...

Other – ½ loaf of whole wheat bread, flour tortillas, box of baking soda

Leftovers - saffron rice, roasted vegetable salad, half a carrot cake

I know there’s more on the bottom shelf, but it looks like I’m condiment heavy too.

[cimui]

exceptionally interesting fridge/freezer unit, cinnamon. somehow i'm not surprised given your other posts.

[Cinnamon]

Still learning, but I know what I like. :) Now to figure out how to translate that into actually having good-food snacks available at a moment's notice. Right now just making use of the fresh items in a timely manner is keeping me busy. But I am learning more about what keeps well so is good to have on hand, vs. what is best to buy day-of.

[Boccone Dolce]

I speed read Cinnamon's list- blah, blah, jesus that's a big fridge, blah- Jager!!?!?! That made me smile.
I love 'a bag of vac-pac chicken feet. I may have to purchase that domain name:
www.vac-pac_chicken_feet.com

[Cinnamon]

Heh. I was going to abbreviate the list, but realized I'd never really done an inventory so just bloviated the list here. Then I pasted it into Google (who knows, maybe it would come up with some recipe links) and got a 'server error' I'd never seen with Google before.

[lcool]

I have had 2 or 3 hiccups with Google so far today

[Boccone Dolce]

your fridge broke Google!
inventory of my whirlpool would scare me. i forgot all the condiments, the jelly, the nutella, the fish sauce, black bean sauce, rooster sauce, mustards, just- so much.

we are getting another fridge for the garage- it's just too cramped in there at holiday time, drives ya nutty.

[Cinnamon]

The inventory of my whirlpool would probably include several socks. I do advocate the second-fridge idea, although it can raise energy costs notably if the second fridge is really the old, inefficient fridge that got replaced in the ktichen. I think you can make up for it by storing discount reindeer steaks in the freezer section though.

[corneygirl]

Various cheeses, and condiments
Bok choy, spinach, leaf lettuce, green onion, garlic chive, summer savory, oregano, asparagus, carrots, sugar snap peas, turnips, radishes
Farm eggs
PBR
white wine
apple juice
butter, buttermilk
tortillas
After looking:
cold brew coffee, humus, english muffin, yeast, roasted peppers, pickles, a salami, chicken tamales. I think we need more beer...

[klyeoh]

Durians - in an extra airtight container!

[cimui]

i guess the other contents of your fridge evacuated? ;)

[easily amused]

Just came back from Trader Joe's:
Wasabi Mayo
Brie
Lemon crisps with drizzled chocolate
Harry and David's : Lemon artichoke pesto

Spinach
Alouette...Creme de Brie with Herbs/ and Plain

[cimui]

i bet i could live inside your refrigerator for a year and not miss the outer world.

what do you use cassava flour for?

[Sam Fujisaka]

Brasilian breakfast crepes - very different: light, airy, slightly spongy.

[lcool]

fermented cassava flour also makes a wonderful Brazilian cheese croquet/gougere

[cimui]

thanks, lcool and sam. i bought some cassava flour at my dominican market a while back, on a whim, and never got around to figuring out how to use it. this is really helpful!

[lcool]

I have a recipe from a Brazilian friend (his mom) that is terrific and soooo easy
not to mention well received,a big hit at wine tastings
will dig it out and post it Monday or Tuesday
Sam's recipe is worth having also,it fills a really interesting niche during Passover

[Shrinkrap]

According to my son, there is "nothing", but it is packed to the gills! There is a birthday cake taking up a lot of space.

Have you seen this photo essay?

http://www.good.is/post/picture-show-...

[LaLa]

how is it that the blind person has the cleanest fridge.

[Shrinkrap]

I'm guessing its by necessity. Remember that scene in "Minority Report" when Tom Cruise is blindfolded and looking for something in the fridge?

[Caroline1]

Interesting "photo essay" on refrigerators, and a major confirmation that refrigerators should NOT have glass doors! It spurred me to go look in my own refrigerator. <sigh> I am now convinced that once a refrigerators leaves a showroom floor, it never again has a pretty interior. No way I'm telling you guys what's in mine! '-)

[James Cristinian]

Caroline1, not to wish this on anyone, but after Hurricane Ike I read several articles, and heard other anecdotal comments about how clean the refrigerators were; cleanest in years. Keep your eyes one the skys up there in tornado alley.

[Caroline1]

If only a tornado would "just" clean the refrigerator, I wouldn't spend so much time hiding under the bed! I want Santa to bring me a storm cellar... WITH a refrigerator!

[cimui]

I love looking inside other people's refrigerators whenever I visit, so I love this sneak peak!

[always_eating]

Holy crap - 15 kinds of cheese!! I like it! Tell me you drink a lot of wine with them! ;)

[Phurstluv]

I know what you mean! I always have a cheese board working in my fridge, which has a covered pantry shelf and I've got upwards of nine cheeses working! And I'm lactose intolerant! Go figure! I can never pass up a good stinky cheese!

[bayoucook]

Me too, we love cheese. Plus there's the parm-reg, the Mexican cheese, soft mozz, Boursin, cheeses we brought from Amsterdam and Germany, Maytag blue, Old Amsterdam cheese, gorgonzola.....probably more than 15! And we're not lactose-intolerant.

[Phurstluv]

4 kinds of butter? You mean brands or other stuff? I only use one kind LOL unsalted - what else do you use?

[bayoucook]

European butter, regular unsalted butter, heart-smart blend butter and Land0Lakes softened butter. Usually just have the Euro and heart-smart .

[Phurstluv]

Okay, got it. How is the LOL softened, btw? Any good? Easier to work with as in measuring or not?

[bayoucook]

Not sure. It says it's butter with canola oil. Haven't cooked with it, but we like it on toast and rolls. Can't keep butter at room temp here. Have a butter bell that I use for regular butter sometimes.

[jmullen1251]
