Sam suggested we do a show and tell of our unedited fridge. Here's mine, taken two Saturdays ago. It looks quite bare doesn't it? Most of our other foods don't get to live in the fridge- root vegetables, apples, oranges, grapefruits, husband's teas, marmite, ketchups, wines, spirits, syrups, honey etc. But it houses our precious hoard of dried conpoy, dried tamarind peels, Baba curry paste and keeps the chillis and lemongrasses fresh. We were surprised to find things like salted duck eggs in the shops here, and also not too embarassed to own that we use jarred tomyam paste.
In terms of produce, some are organic, some are 'bio', some are neither. I also do not particularly go out of my way to avoid cheaper produce from Morocco or other Northern African countries which apparently abuse their farm workers or are deemed less righteous or politically correct. We get through kilos of stuff a week- as happens when there are 3 adults, a kid and two dogs who eat homecooked meals almost daily- so if I can save some euros I do not mind.
The door of the fridge is for keeping face masks, bits of kiddie chocolates and the indispensable passata. The doctors advise us to feed the little one with Vit D supplements, doesn't sound too appetising to me so we give her cheeses like the Laughing Cow and Petite Suisses.
I also managed to dig up pictures and posts of my TWO fridges in Singapore, circa Dec 2005. Back then, we put almost everything in the fridge because the humidity and heat makes food spoil faster, and of course there were two more adults to feed as well. The Tupperwares got used a lot more in those days.
