I crossed another one off the list today. I cleaned out the fridge. My
the time I purges bits of rock hard cheese, half slices on stale bread,
rock hard withered up limes, gnarly looking grape, old sour cream etc,
there was twice as much room. I also came across the smoked ham hock I
had bough last week to make split pea soup. That will be a good job for
this afternoon.

Had your sour cream turned moldy? If not, that's just the whey and can
be stirred back into the sour cream.

I'm pretty good about keeping the fridge cleaned out. Once in a
while I turf out some condiments that I bought and ended up not
liking, but anything fresh is used or discarded when it shows
signs of senescence.

Good question. It has not even been opened.

i hate it when food is wasted. i try very hard to keep
on top of what we have and what needs to be taken care of
further.

in recent weeks we've had two plastic containers get
ruined by mold - i could not get them clean enough that
i could no longer smell the mold so they went out with
the recycle - wasting useful materials also bothers me.

you would think that bleach, hydrogen peroxide, soaps,
shout, etc. would take care of everything but when it
comes down to plastics and fungi there are still things
that are not fixable...

and currently there's a container of cottage cheese
that we've not opened (i think - i dunno, and that also
bugs me).
