Our Refrigerator

Our refrigerator is always full of food. It makes it difficult to go shopping, because we think, "Gee, we can't buy this because there is no room in our fridge." Unfortunately, we can't eat the stuff in our fridge because it is all condiments.

In an effort to declutter our fridge, I made pancakes the other day just as an excuse to eat syrup. We still have half a bottle of strawberry syrup, two partially empty bottles of maple syrup, and one little bottle of pure maple syrup that I took home from the Cracker Barrel.

Luckily, I like mustard, so we're down to 5 bottles of 4 types of mustard. I also finished off a container of mayonnaise this week, meaning we only have 3 open containers left in the fridge.

Pickles are a problem because the containers are so large. We have a 62 oz jumbo bottle of bread and butter chips, a 46 oz jar of original dill whole pickles, a 24 oz jar of Zingers hot dill pickles, and 16 oz jars each of sweet whole pickles and sweet pickle relish.

Other condiments in our fridge include 4 types of hot sauce, one bottle of salsa, 5 different kinds of salad dressing (although nothing to make a salad out of), ketchup, A1, two types of BBQ sauce, 2 bottles of liquid smoke, lemon juice, lime juice, sour cream, sliced jalapenos, chocolate syrup, caramel syrup, whipped topping in a can, butter, margarine, spread, and 3 types of preserves.
