The Fridge of a Bad Parent
All these pictures of beautiful bulging fridges full of food and interesting jars and containers are annoying me.
First of all, I don't keep eggs in the fridge. No, no, no!!! Eggs should be room temperature and kept on top of the microwave like in our house. All condiments and jars of sauces and spreads are kept in the pantry cupboard above the fridge along with the cereal and bread.
Finally, this is totally and utterly representative of our fridge. In fact, this isn't the worst it's been (but it has been better, obviously) and no, I don't have another fridge in the shed or the garage hiding all the good stuff because I have neither of those things. There are rarely leftovers as we have two ever-growing boys and a dog and we tend to use food out of the freezer or buy fresh on the day.

I have no idea. It is completely iced up and overflowing.
The door is broken but frozen in place.

Tub of "fiery jalapeños and garlic" houmous
Chicken and stuffing in a plastic box
Coleslaw that is just on the verge of being past its best
Cream Cheese that seems to have been in there forever

Stork margarine
Four bottles of Budweiser
Bottom Shelf
Six cans of Carlsberg Export
Salad Drawer
[empty]
Door - Top Tray
A bit of butter, to be used for greasing next time I bake
Garlic and liver paté
Lard
Door - Middle Shelf
Two cans of Carlsberg Export
A bottle of Irish Meadow (it's not Baileys - it just thinks it is)

Some more butter for cooking

Edit: Thursday Afternoon
I got bullied into going shopping.
The fridge looks a little better now with some yoghurts, boiled ham, new coleslaw, bacon, sausages, cheese and more milk. Oh and there's a couple of pasties from Gregg's left over from lunch time. I'm such a chav!
It's ended up like a "spot the difference" challenge, hasn't it?
