WHAT’S IN YOUR FRIDGE?
Last week, Colleen asked on the SlowTrav board how many different kinds of mustard you had in your fridge. I didn’t think I had many, but I knew I had way too many condiments.

You have the fridge of a true dedicated chef!
Fun entry! I also buy Safeway’s organic products. I love lemon grass but never seen it in a tube.
I LOVE it. You are ready for anything. My mom always taught me to be ready “just in case” someone shows up for dinner. That never happens!
@ this point my fridge if full of leftover potato soup!
Wow, Cindy. You are READY!
I am making a conscious effort to keep my fridge “lighter” – it helps that we can run to the store with our better weather.
Your fridge looks so CLEAN!
The contents of my refrigerator are pretty sad looking next to your well packed fridge. I might need to jot down a few items to stock up on. Fun post! I really enjoyed peeking inside your fridge 🙂
I want to come cook in your kitchen! What a great assortment of ingredients to work with.
Can I come and live at your house?
What an organized person!
Love it!
If I am going to do this post I need to cleam out my fridge! I never knew that vinegars needed to eb refrigerator – I’ve never done that (nor mustard for that matter).
That is a very well stocked fridge! I think your house would be a good place to pop by unannounced…
It’s funny that my refrigerator looks clean and neat in these photos, because I don’t think it is at all! Although it has lots of condiments, it was low on everything else when I took the photos.
Jerry-I don’t refrigerator all of my vinegars, only the ones that say to. That’s usually the ones that have fruit or fruit-juice in them. I don’t know about mustard-I’ve always refrigerated them.
Cindy, Your jar reminds me of Amy’s Chestnut soup. Now I’m craving some.
