« Dinner for two, chez nous | Main | A new restaurant » Wednesday, May 30, 2007Fridge envy (it was bound to happen)Food section contributor Debra Samuels has been eyeing my fridge photos for some months now and dropping hints that she was about to do some major work on hers. She describes her cold chest as a large receptacle for oddments -- a few leftover vegetables in a baggie, a spoonful of something stewy in a little container -- without labels, all being moved quietly to the recesses of the shelves as new stuff is introduced to the front. In an e-mail, she explained it like this: "I open the door of my fridge and have feelings of organizational inferiority. I spend an untold amount of time looking for things I know I have. I use lots of unusual ingredients for a variety of different ethnic cuisines and those little half-used jars and bottles migrate everywhere." She also wrote that she can't throw away a tablespoon of sauce. "I put it in a little colorful container and then forget that it's there until several weeks later." She emptied the entire thing, or as she put it, "I assaulted my fridge, threw out a ton of stuff, and decided to start over." She even got out an old toothbrush and started scrubbing the corners. Drum rolls, please:
