Jan. 21, 2008 - My Refrigerator
So my very good IRL friend mommaofmany tagged for this "show your fridge" thing. So in the spirit of fun here it is...........my fridge:
The top shelf is the "leftover shelf". In addition to the leftovers, my overnight pre-ferment for our pizza dough is there.
The next shelf holds our soft drinks and condiments. This is where I stash our weekly soda (for pizza night), our juice or tea (that's tea), yougurt, sour cream, plus whatever condients will not fit in the door. Here we have raw butter, salsa, and the jar in front holds the flour is leftover after grinding. Can let such a good thing go to waste, now can I?
Next shelf is the milk and kefir shelf. From left to right: raw milk, store milk ( only becasue going all raw is too much $$$) and a half-gallon jar of finished kefir. When this picture was taken my gallon jar that holds my grains and kefir-to-be was out on the counter.
Next is the chesse & lunchmeat drawer. Right now we have raw cheddar, kraft american, parmesan (plus the mini rotarty grater that holds it), mozzarealla, ham, cream cheese, plus a baggie with a couple of leftover waffles in it. An icepack is in there too.
Next is the veggie drawer. In here we have: carrots, zucchini, spinach, and celery. Here we also have a baggie with leftover pancakes in it and an icepack (hmmm.... I see a theme here).
There is a third drawer (not pictured) that I use for thawing meats most of the time. Right now all that is in there is a gallon bag of gluten. Maybe there is an ice pack in there too. Wait....my oldest daughter is going to check.....yep, there is one there too! I have got to get a handle on those things! What can I say, you have 6 children and you are going to need some ice packs. OK so they are not technically "ice" packs. But they don't hurt so much when cold verses frozen.
I'd like to stop here but I can't let momma out do me......
....so here is the door
Top: Mostly baking stuff: meringue powder, color flow mix, (I do cakes ~ see my homestead blog), butter, miso paste (use it in soups), and my pan release mix (equal parts of flour, oil, and shortening mixed together). I brush this mix on pan before baking. Never sticks. Good stuff. Thanks to my first Wilton teacher for that tip.
Next: Beef soup base, a tin of homemade wound salve, tabasco sauce, capers, Super Fruit spread (I hide it from the kiddos), black cherry concentrate (for ice cream and shakes), oster sauce, tattle tonic (a horrible tasting concoction we make for treating tattle tales), lemon juice, organic apple cider vinegar, and liquid chlorophyll (good for energy and anemia).
Next: Mustard, mayo, roasted rep peppers, grated parm cheese, relish, hot fudge sauce, syrup, corn syrup, and cocktail sauce.
Last: Jelly, peanut butter, applesauce, and ketchup, and pace picante sauce.
OK, I am tired now. I am going to lay down and watch Monk while the children have their quiet time.
By request I am tagging my daugther Kit. This should be fun.
