You fit all that in your frig? ! It's not that big.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, Quinn doesn't yell.
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly, yes, this is the contents of our one and only refrigerator (and its freezer). My hopes are that the next time around, fridge raid part two, there will be a lot less shit, a lot less old shit, and a whole lot more shit of substance (seasonal, local, useful).
ReplyDeletei'm glad i'm not the only one with bone(rs) in my freezer and jars of fat in my fridge.
