Spring cleaning the fridge

From Gone Walkabout by
April 26, 2009

I’ll admit this up-front... I don’t clean my fridge regularly. Sure, if something spills, I’ll wipe it up. Maybe feel shamed into cleaning that entire shelf. But I don’t empty it out weekly for cleaning (does anyone?).

I’m about to go on a two-week vacation, so I’m trying to eat up all the stuff in the fridge in the next few days, and I’m going to take this as an opportunity to clear out all the old jars that stay hidden in the back. And to wash the drawers and shelves.

It’ll be nice to know that when we move (sometime next year) I won’t be moving old jars of jam from one fridge to the next. :-)

I’m so glad to know I am not the only one!

Haha, I hope not! I mean, I keep it sanitary and do try to toss out old food on a weekly basis, but I KNOW I have some jam jars in the back that I won’t be eating. And probably a jar of capers. :-)
