And a Partridge in a Pear Tree



Contents of my fridge, post-Christmas Party:

1 magnum bottle champagne, 3/4 full, has been open for 5 days; thus, likely flat
1 bottle Reisling, 1/2 full, still drinkable :)
1 bottle Lauderdale Cellars Red Cyn (yes, folks, that's Lauderdale County, Tennessee. As in Ripley. They have a winery. Indeed.)
1 liter Bacardi rum
3 Coors Lights (bottles, not cans)
1 quart Egg Nog
3 pints Half & Half
1 obligatory can Redi Whip
1 fridge pack Diet Coke
1 fridge pack Coke (I'm sticking to the diets for now. I don't know what will happen when they're all gone. You may find me sprawled out in the kitchen floor in a diabetic coma, surrounded by 6 cans of full-sugar coke)
1 pitcher sweet tea
1 quart skim milk
1 mixing bowl and spatula coated in hardened baking chocolate
2 limes
4 bell peppers
8 ounces cheddar cheese
3 tubes Betty Crocker easy squeeze icing
The last of one large Olive Garden salad
One bag of expired deli turkey
1/2 carton eggs
1 bag brown-ish apple slices
1 bag assorted baby carrots, celery slices, and broccoli crowns, in various stages of decay
1 bag hash browns (which were probably supposed to be stored in the freezer)
1 can cinnamon rolls (score!)

Conspicuously absent:
1 full carton eggs

Stored on the counter for lack of a better place to put them:
120 tiny candy canes
1 additional tube Betty Crocker easy squeeze icing
1 unused bar Ghirardelli baking chocolate
Approximately 15 surviving gingerbread men
1 bag bread cubes (pumpernickel and whole grain) left over from fondue; likely stale

I'm not really sure what to say to that. I'm so proud of all of your baking ingredients. Can I have the recipe for the fondue? I have a fondue pot, but have yet to try it out.

Question- why is there a random drawer smack in the middle of your fridge?

Sounds a lot like my fridge! The only thing that hasn't gone bad is the alcohol! :)

wow; I'm impressed with the inventory!

Bread cubes--pulse them in a food processor to make bread crumbs. Or put them in a large plastic bag and smack them with a frying pan. :-)

They will keep forever in the fridge and come in handy for coating chicken and casseroles.

Oh, Sarah, you may not be able to make comments on my blog because I went to the new blogger...?
