I was wondering when this would get kicked off but I'm too much of a noob to start it myself. Anyway, the outside of da fridge:

And the inside:

It's usually not that empty but we just sent a bunch of leftovers to the disposal.

Yay, kenko! You can finally play! What did you get?

Ah tommasz, you're not too much of a noob, I'm just impatient. ;)

Yeah, me too.

The fridge part, not necessarily the great mind part, although a boy can hope.

I don't want you to see the inside of my fridge because you will all be sorry for my pathetic bachelor lifestyle. Condiments and about 7 leftover takeout containers. And a bunch of black and white film in the bottom drawer.

ADMIN! HOPE US! WILL YOU MAKE THIS THE OFFICIAL PHOTO FRIDAY THREAD?

Thanks. Sorry, rough morning here.

Aw, shane, I wasn't trying to bust your chops! I was just hoping to step off the 'puter a bit early and didn't want to miss anything. I'll take my place back in the peanut gallery, now.

Hope things smooth out for you.

I got nothin'.

In my fridge, that is. Yeah, I'm a bachelor and I live alone. Someone call for a pizza for me, eh?

Lord Cthulu's face appears to us, burnt into the bread of this cheese sandwich by the hellish flames of a Denny's Reastaurant grill. The terror is undefinable, unimaginable.

Heh, thanks. When we sold our condo and bought a two-flat with another couple a year'n'ahalf ago, we made enough profit to invest in some nice kitchen appliances. Between the fridge and our awesome kick-ass stove, we're spoiled rotten.

Speaking of, mrs.pants and I keep talking about having a potluck dinner sometime. Gotta get that in gear.

posted by me3dia 24 March | 13:38

Alas, I am still without a digital camera so cannot participate. My fridge is pretty bare though, and the only thing in there that's mine is probably the bottle of black cherry vanilla coke that I got yesterday. These days I rely entirely on my meal plan for food. (or as close as we can get to something food-like at our dinning center)

Fridge and freezer.

Sorry, I'm just going to post them instead of doing thumbnails... I'm SO way too lazy to make thumbnails today:

We have a really small fridge, compared to most US people. That's mostly marmalade and jam on the top; lettuce, tomato and mushrooms on the second level; yogurt, onions, peppers and celery on the third; and eggs, chicken and sausage on the last. (I won't go into the door.)

Flickr is automatically rotating my picture when I upload it. Observe unrotated original. Ah, figured that out. Still: annoying!

A lot of this is my roommate's.

My work fridge. Both sad and disgusting.

posted by krix 24 March | 16:00

krix, work fridges are generally pretty abysmal.

kenko, I'm not catching a difference between the two photos in terms of rotation....

posted by Frisbee Girl 24 March | 16:12

Oh, I figured out why it was rotating and stopped it. So, now there is no difference.

posted by kenko 24 March | 16:24

You've already seen my empty fridge. It's no longer empty, but I've been sick so this is all you get. *coughsplutterhack*

This is only the full-on shot I could get of my fridge, because the counter is directly across from it and I couldn't get far enough away. Note the approaching cat, wondering why I'm sitting on the floor in the kitchen. I don't normally do that.

Bonus: Stove.

I live in student housing with 8 people, so we have 3 communal fridges.

mudpuppie, your stove is great!

mudpuppie, is that an O'Keefe and Merritt? Will you marry me?!

me3dia: i think i could live in your fridge.

Frisbee Girl, I don't want to get back into a debate about whether White Zinfendel is really wine, because I now admit it technically is, but I know for a fact that truffle oil is not derived from truffles.

"Truffle Flavoring" as listed in the ingrediants is an artificial flavoring, although like some other flavorings does not have to be listed that way because its not a chemical that tastes like the target, but the replicant of a specific naturaly occurring molecule.

I found this out the hard way when my foody freind pronounced my mushroom truffle soup "cloying."

posted by StickyCarpet 25 March | 12:33

That is a specific whilte truffle oil thing and you can read the ingredients for the difference.
there is real truffle oil.
let us talk no more of truffle.

posted by ethylene 25 March | 12:43

Ah, StickyCarpet, God bless you and your tenacious attention to detail. I barely remember the White Zinfandel thread, but see that it left a lasting impression.

Quoting diretly from the bottle of oil itself, I have amended that annotation. It now reads:

Olive oil infused with black truffle aroma. We use it on a bunch of dishes at work, I don't know how I could have possibly thought my life was complete before olive oil infused with black truffle aroma was in it.

I hope this helps to ease your sensibilities.

I almost wish I had the ambition to debate the semantics of food with you further, but I'm feeling relaxed and drowsy from having just finished a big bowl of penne in a butter and garlic sauce with fresh tomoato that was dressed with generous amounts of reggiano and, you guessed it: olive oil infused with black truffle aroma. Tasty!

posted by Frisbee Girl 25 March | 13:12

I hope this helps to ease your sensibilities.

Its true my sensibilities need a little easing today. But just because I am often technically wrong about many things, that doesn't stop me from participating in a larger truth.
