The Contents of my Fridge

My pal Slummy Single Mummy has tagged me to reveal the contents of my fridge. Now I'm not going to lie: this ain't gonna be pretty. And now I think of it these pictures seem to reveal quite a lot about my (perfectly legal) addictions to chocolate and alcohol. So what the heck, here goes nothing.

Let's start with the freezer compartment shall we?



Those of you not familiar with the Samoa Girl Scouts' Cookie will not know how delicious is it as well as the fact that the cookies are 150 calories per cookie and God knows how much more mixed with the icecream. The stuff in the Tupperware is leftover Easter chocolate and the thing that looks like a chicken is a decapitated chocolate bunny.



Since we recently almost had a tornado here and we've been warned that we may have to hide in the basement for several days and not be able to shop for groceries I have stocked the freezer with staples such as um, gin.

Now moving on to the fridge. Admitedly I do have to go for a shop but even so these items are fairly typical of my daily intake of er nutrients:


"Help I'm trapped in a filthy drawer! Will paint eggs for food."





Nutritional note: Fruits are still fruits even when trapped in a sugary jelly like substance.



When you have gin you must also have mixers and a few bottles of wine in case guests pop in...



...plus some beer.



More chewed chocolate.

I know what you're thinking. Where's the veg? Well this is all I have at the mo:



Yes there is some kind of watery stuff floating about in there.



In fact I actually found a sprouted pea in there this morning but threw it out. I did look for it in the bin to take a picture but couldn't find it so this image will have to do. The discovery of the sprout might give some indication of how often I clean out my vegetable drawer.

So now I want you all to show me the contents of your fridges. I don't think anyone can be worse than that but surprise me.

To get the ball rolling I want to see the fridge contents of :

Metropolitan Mum
Mum's Gone To
Glen's Life
A Modern Military Mum cos she's a neat freak and I'd love to see what an alphabetically organised fridge looks like
Very Bored in Catalunya - because I want to see some groovy Spanish packaging
Note From Lapland - because I want to see some groovy Finnish packaging

Maxabella said...

Oh, thank god you didn't tag me, Emma!! That's all I have to say on the matter.

I'm guessing that you're grateful for all that alcohol and chocolate, right? x

Alice Becomes said...

you are a brave woman. But when did you sneak into my house and take photos of my fridge??

Oh wait, we have vodka in our freezer - but I would prefer gin

That one-eyed chocolate rabbit scares the living daylights out of me!
Thank you so much for the tag. I'm leaving the country.

Niki Hudson said...

This post had me cracking up! We are birds of a feather! There's no way I would want anyone to see the inside of my fridge right now. Very brave of you. Thanks for sharing!

Mrs. Tuna said...

I'm more than a little suprised you had a half a bottle of wine, at my house if its opened its a sin to not finish it.

Metropolitan Mum said...

Yikes. And why is the chocolate in the fridge, let alone the freezer? I am so bloody boring when it comes to food intake, my post will make you cry...

Electro-Kevin said...

I expected to see some ice cubes in your fridge, Emma.

EmmaK said...

Metropolitan Mum...Well it is hot here so chocolate would melt if left out and also we have a terrible ant problem so leaving it in a cupboard would acerbate that issue! Go on show us your Wheatgrass juice!

Linda A. said...

Well (breezily said), looks like you've covered all the key food groups.

Oh I miss Blue Moon, mope mope mope.

London City Mum said...

Oh lordy, lordy, lordy.

You just cannot get the staff nowadays.

You sure eat a lot of chocolate! But I did note the Roses retro marmalade too! xx

In 2005, when I started blogging, I always said that when I was reduced to listing the contents of my fridge for a post, I would retire...but actually that was pretty funny...you silly cow...

EmmaK said...

Fingers...Let's hit a new low together. Show me your fridge! I hope it's a Sub-Zero. http://tinyurl.com/6jmf2ec

Chocolate and alcohol - sounds good to me!

bigwords is... said...

A few things -
1) Shmucks - that name for jam made me giggle!!
2) You have the same ratio of booze to vegetables as are in my fridge
3) Your choice of gin is A1.

I think you must reduce the chocolate consumption for a better and healthy life.You can have to in moderation but too much is surely going to affect the body.sinus surgery Los Angeles

SOUL MATE! I just found you - thank GOD - I thought I was the only Mommy blogger hiding the contents of my fridge! LOVE your blog! Love it! Your parents were from far-flung countries and so were mine (NZ and Lithuania...). You are married to a long-suffering man and so am I (mine's Irish). I used to live in London. And we both have the same fridge and see Mick Jagger as a scrotum with ginormous lips. (-: SO glad I found you. Ado at www.themomalog.com

Other people’s drawers, other people’s fridges. Well you definitely get my ‘no bullshit here’ award for the year to date. Slightly concerned that you chose to start eating choccy pussies head first of all. Do you really have a problem with cutie lickle pussy cat faces then?

Touchy and sad subject for me is this. A few years back, being a passionate cook and general all round chow hound, I treated myself to a big wide single door Liebherr fridge/freezer. My favourite kitchen toy. Recently the self defrost packed up in the freezer, so I took it apart to give it a bit of a DIY defrost de-icing service and managed to fracture one of the main gas pipes rendering the whole fridge unrepairable and thus useless. All to save £120 for the expert to come and sort it out properly. It now has pride of place in my workshop and is loaded up with tools and cleaning products.

Samoas ice cream? I have been out of the country too long!

I prefer to consume my fruits in jelly form too. Or booze form.
