Pickles, cheese, bread, eggs, bacon, sauce (all of 'em)

4

Organical milk (stock up, lasts forever), half’n’half, eggs (also stocked up), jelly, dressing, relish, sauces (soy, teroyaki, w’shire, oyster, etc.), katchup, mayo, juices, anything that once opened needs to be fridged. Pretty much all regulars/staples.

Other stuff is just a bunch of guest-appearances as needed: cheese, fruit, veggies, jalapenos/habaneros/etc., chocolate, sauerkraut, yogurt, sour-cream, cottage-cheese, cream-cheese, plus anything from the freezer to thaw out for use later. One and done stuff.

Locktite Ultra Gel Super Glue - to extend its shelf life… -:slight_smile: Also, kefir.

6

Carrots, parsnips, assorted leafy greens, bok choy, cabbage, broccoli, zucchini, assorted peppers, mushrooms, celery, duck eggs, asparagus, sauerkraut, kimchi, assorted nuts, whole grain flours, tofu, tamari sauce, home-made soup, stew, baked beans…

Glues; assorted CA, epoxy,

Fresh (unsweetened) UHD milk, eggs, butter, bread, boiled water (in pitchers), fruits, cakes, vegetables, etc.

Nothing interesting in the main fridge, the second one largely contains my supply of Monster Energy in assorted flavours.

  • Cheddar Cheese 9 times out of 10
  • 50/50 chance of at least one more kind of cheese
  • at least one kind of fruit, weighted towards seasonal fruit
  • whatever leftovers I’m planning to eat for the rest of the week
  • a host of condiments that I’ll get through eventually

At the moment;
*kettle of beans
*Bag of shredded cheddar
*2 carrots
*Tub of butter
*Tub of deli fried chicken
*2 jars of sourdough starter
*Jar of minced garlic
*3 lbs beef hamburger
*Catsup
*Chipotle mustard
*Bbq sauce
*Ranch dressing
*Insulin pens

Of that, that’s always there;
*2 jars of sourdough starter
*catsup
*Bbq sauce
*Ranch dressing
*Insulin pens
*probably the minced garlic…( thats a new thing to me. Usually prefer fresh, this was an experiment. It isso convenient and a totally different flavor profile to fresh, if I can afford it, it will probably always be there)

Other things that tend to be there regularly
*anywhere from 1/4 to a full yellow onion
*one small leftover serving. ( We tend to not have left overs, or they are simply left out all the time. Americans/1st world countries over refrigerate/over apply cooked food spoilage, and most would panic at what we keep 24 hours at room temp lol )
*jar of Real, Best Foods, mayo
*Moose hamburger instead of beef

That’s about it… it actually spends a lot of time bare except the insulin, starter and condiments… low income, small meals, verry little is left after meals, or never refrigerated before or after… Thaw everything day of or overnight at room temp too.

Currently it is stuffed to max capacity; its a mini fridge/bar fridge. We haven’t had a full size one for a decade. Do have two deep freezes though. One always stuffed with a few hundred pounds of organic home grown whole chickens. Currently only half full and half of that is free range moose and some caribou meat. That ones in the dungeon, The other that’s outside on the deck and easily accessible is weekly meat supplies, that varies. Lots of pork and corned beef right now, and usually a couple/three loaves of bread. Both are the smaller chest freezers, 3 or 4 feet long.

I find some things you all list interesting… I find that most fruits and veg last longer left out warm and dry, usually in a dark cupboard. Bread as well, its too damp if refrigerated, and who the hell eats ice cold bread anyway? We freeze it to keep more than a week, but thaw and use from room temp.

Of interest might be two things we rarely have; eggs and milk. Milk is too expensive, and too bulky, and we just stopped ever using it orvdrinking it anyway. IF we do get it its 2% anyway, so we keep 1% dry milk instead. I dont think I’ve bought liquid milk for over a year.

And eggs we just never eat… about every or 4 months I might get a 18 pack, or free farm eggs from friends and then its a Always in the fridge item because it can take us 2 months to use them.

…not ketchup but catsup! That’s what we had when I was a kid.
We have neither anymore though

I heard that bananas ripen faster in the fridge. Something about being trapped in their own gases I think

I have found that stay fresh for longer when u keep them cold. but keeping apples near the banana gasses makes them ripen faster - thats a fact
