There’s a pickle… in a jar… all by itself. It’s been in the refridgerator <sp?> for awhile. The 'fridge is a year old, and I think I remember seeing the pickle in the old fridge.
My husband is the pickle eater around here, he can go thru a whole jar in a week. Other jars have come and gone, but the lone pickle remains.
It’s the Immortal can of Spates ™ beer. It’s been in the flat for the past four years and living a purpetual life of fear in your fridge. It was joined by the 3 year old bottle of draught beer with Interesting Floaty Things, but it was lost in the last shift.
Oh, don’t ask…I have some really suspicious things in the back of my refrigerator!
My questionable food pretty much gets up and walks itself to the garbage. We’ve labeled them “pre-” and “post-Bush” foods.
Updated the earthquake supplies last weekend and found some freeze-dried soup that expired in 1997. “Can freeze-dried soups, still tighly sealed, actually expire?” I asked myself.
The answer is “yes”. Bleeeeeeeeeeeeech.
There’s some week-old roast beef, but I think that’s it. I cleaned the fridge out recently
I’ve got diet Snapple lemonades living in the back of my fridge - plan on dumping them soon, they’ve been there forever, and I’m not going to drink them.

how about packets of yeast that expired in 1996?
No wonder the last batch of bread didn’t rise… 
Are you kidding? Do you want an inventory of my fridge? There’s half tins of coconut milk/apricots/tomatoes that have died and gone to heaven. There’s jars of single pickles or even just the vinegar that remains. There’s a bottle of cordial that the kids thought was crud, but hasn’t been thrown out yet (and it’s been six months now). Fossilised carrots and other unidentifiable scraps of vegetable matter inhabit the lower regions and have snuck down between the racks.
Time to clean out my fridge perhaps?? 
Do you ever get the soft cucumber and the white, hairy tomatoes? I have to put baggies on my hands just to remove them from the bin.
Oh, I just yearn to find a soft cucumber and hairy tomato. By the time I’ve discovered them in MY fridge, they have gone well beyond soft and hairy I’m afraid.
They’re Science Experiments if anyone dares to ask.
Or a saucer of cat food that has dried and HARDENED to the plate, so you have to soak it to clean it. Then the soaking makes your whole kitchen smell like stinky cat food. Then everyone pukes. And hates you.
I had a box of frozen broccoli in my refrigerator for four years. I knew it was there, of course, it’s just that I decided that cooking with fresh vegatables was better, but I kept it for nostalgic reasons that I won’t go into here.
The last two cans of Icehouse beer left from when I decided to quit drinking.
It will be a year next Tuesday. Yay me.
D’ya think this can of “Billy Beer” is still good?
I stopped eating eggs a year ago. I still have eggs purchased then. I was going to use them on Halloween but I forgot I had them. I’ll try for next Halloween. I also had some cheddar cheese that grew white hairy stuff.
If you think that’s bad, I can tell you a story about a saucer of cat food gone bad that will put your story to shame. Heh-heh.
About 3 or 4 years ago on a really hot summer day, my cat did not finish her sof canned food that I had left in her bowl. Because it was a very hot day (now that I think back I believe it was the famed summer of '99) the food went bad rather quickly. So when I came home that night, it already smelled. I proceeded to get rid of it and replace it with a more palatable version, but it was already too late. THERE WERE MAGGOTS CRAWLING ALL OVER IT. I screamed and quickly dumped some water in it, hoping to drown the maggots. Did they drown? HELL, no! They just crawled out of the water, up the inside wall of the bowl coming after me (well, almost). They were undrownable. I screamed and freaked. My then-boyfriend came to the rescue and got rid of them. They were already on the outside of the bowl by then, heading towards the floor (and from there no doubt would have scattered all over the place never to be retrieved.) So he just put the whole bowl in the toilet and did something or other to kill them. I didn’t watch and I begged him not to tell me what exactly he had to do. If it involved touching them with his bare hands, I’d rather not know. It was much like a horror movie.
Oh, yeah, it’s dinner time on the East coast. Bon appetit!
I opened this bottle of wine three weeks ago. Do you think it’s still good?
How about the three-month-old eggs? How long do eggs stay good, anyway?
I think this was probably celery, once, but it isn’t anymore.
Right now, I have:
- Chinese food from last weekend. I missed trash day on Monday.
- A tub of sour cream. It expired in September.
- Lettuce that should have been eaten about a month ago.
- A jar of jelly that my roomie brought home from France. In December. It’s usually good for a week or two, he said.
- A jar of Tostitos cheese for nachos. I think it’s been there since the summer time.
Can you tell we don’t do a lot of cooking/eating of stuff in the fridge?
I got rid of several old things in the fridge this morning, actually. But I was too frightened of the tightly sealed bowl of instant mashed potatoes, which are going on about a month now.
