Refrigerator Nightmares

My refrigerator houses more then just beer these days.  Not a whole lot more more, and most of it is in Styrofoam leftover from work, but that is beside the point.  I have stopped moving every five months; this means things stay in my fridge.

Before I was buying ketchup, butter, etc every few months never really worrying about it.  Between me and the numerous roommates we finished things off.  In the chance things weren’t eaten I moved away, left them to deal with it, and rebought my condiments at the next place.  It wasn’t a perfect routine, but it was my routine.

Now I have lived in the same place for almost two years.  This is a record since I turned 18.  I knew growing up that my mom sifted through our fridge every once in a while but I never thought about why.

Turns out, food spoils.  Food like ketchup, mustard, and salad dressing.  Who knew?  Really, never thought about salad dressing and mayonnaise spoiling.  It was gross.   This was never a problem before.  Hoping it’s a lesson that’ll stick in my head, and won’t be a problem again.

I’m moving on from ranch dressing and spicey brown mustard.  They’ve been placed alongside cottage cheese and  chocolate milk on my list of things I can’t stomach to choke down after a bad experience.  And it ruined my dinner.
