Default Just cleaned out the fridge. Eek!

I am pretty good about going through the veggie bin weekly and tossing out
any old leftovers. We don't have a lot of leftovers. But the other day I
did toss out the shredded chicken that Angela didn't like and the Carne
Deshebrada that I like but doesn't set well with my stomach.

But the other stuff? I was watching one of those hoarder shows last night
and the stuff they found in that fridge was certainly more disgusting than
anything I've ever found. Except for when I was roommates with a medical
student. But I digress.

I realized that I had 4 eggs in there bought for husband. They will likely
not be good by the time he comes back. Angela said she would eat them, so I
am boiling them for her.

I then went through all the bottles and jars. Luckily I didn't find any
duplicates. We are famous for that. Somebody thinks we are out of
something like salad dressing so we buy and open a new one. But that wasn't
the case today. In fact all of the salad dressing was still good.

What I did find were some ancient olives (some from an olive bar and not in
brine) and tons of pickles. Each one of us have gone through a pickle phase
at some point where some kind of pickles looked very appealing at the store.
So we bought them. And for the most part didn't eat them. At all. Found a
jar of sugar free sweet pickles (Nalley brand) that expired some time in
2009. There is a jar of organic baby dills that seems to have no expiration
date on it but I think it was bought fairly recently. That was the only jar
I kept. The rest got tossed.

Then there was the weird jar of pickled beets. They are from Sweet Creek
Farms. They make organic and sugar free things. And by sugar free I mean
free of any sweeteners whatever. I do like most of their stuff. But the
beets? Just odd. They come in a jar. They don't taste quite like plain
canned beets. But they are also lacking that vinegar tang of most pickled
beets. They are edible. Just not super appealing. So out they went.

Then there was the container of Rice Milk that sort of turned into Rice
Cottage Cheese. Eek! And I did find that partially used container of Feta
cheese that I just knew that I had. But do you think Angela or I could find
it yesterday? No! I had bought more because it was on sale. So now I have
two open packages of Feta. I would mix them but they are different brands.

Now the bell is dinging for the eggs. Gotta go cool them. So what is the
yuckiest thing in your fridge?
