I rarely make more than I can eat so the only thing I ever have left

overs to is pizza and rice.

1) We clean our refrigerator as needed. I try to tidy and organize it at least

once per week. We wipe/wash shelves probably every 4-6 weeks unless there have

been significant spills.

 

2) We empty the freezer yearly. We wipe it out more frequently as necessary.

 

3)We combine leftovers into hybrid meals.

 

4)During my undergrad years my wife happened upon some deer mice and prairie

dogs in re-closable freezer storage bags in our freezer. There was much

distress expressed when I came home later that day.

QOTW for May 4th- 10th, 2008:

 

1. How often do you clean out your refridgerator?

On a weekly basis, I'll look through everything and use what needs to be used

and throw out stuff that is old. Several times a year, I'll pull everything

out; wash drawers and shelves, wipe down bottles, organize, etc....

 

2. How often do you clean out your freezer?

 

Several times a year. I date everything I put in there and try not to let

anything be in there for more than 6 months.

 

3. What are some creative ways you use up leftovers?

 

Soups, quesadillas, and wraps. Usually we eat the leftovers for lunch.

 

4. What is the wierdest thing you have found in either

your fridge or freezer?

 

I pulled a Rubik's Cube out of the freezer yesterday. My son is always freezing

things. I often find Legos frozen in the ice cubes. LOL.

~ Never often enough! I always say I will do it on

a specific day of the week, but by the next Sunday

I realize I forgot or procrastinated when there is no

room for the stuff I've prepared for our Sunday BBQ!

So, I guess I end up cleaning it out of necessity on

Sundays.

 

 

> 2. How often do you clean out your freezer?

 

~ What? We're supposed to clean them? *lol*

OMG! I know I really should, and I am making a

promise to myself and my family to do it this

week... sometime.

~ I know there is a whole package of salmon in my

freezer that a relative gave to me, and I didn't have

the heart to tell them no thanks. I planned to take it

out to Wildlife Images animal rehabilitation for the

food donations for the wild bears, otter, wolves, etc

they have there to feed; I just haven't gotten to it yet.

I do not have a refrigerator and have not had one for over 17 years. I shop for

the fruit and vegetables available in season on weekly trips to store and

farmer's market. I combine what is available with rice, pasta, or lentils.

 

I do own a freezer that is in the garage. It has dual controls so during the

winter months when the temperatures outside drop to below 20f, the freezer keeps

the temperatures inside the freezer above that level. I keep the dog's and

bird's food in there and I turn the controls up to the minimum cold level. At

this temperature setting nothing freezes too solid. Plus I do can what is

available from the farmer's market and freeze excess for winter use...like

tomatoes, corn, squash, and apples.

When we move or get a new one.

 

 

2. How often do you clean out your freezer?

 

See answer above.

Omelets, fried rice, soups and stews

A thing that looked like a hubcap in the freezer. It turned out to be the

biggest pancake I have ever seen, wrapped in foil, that my husband got at a

restaurant in New York, called the Royal Canadian Pancake House. (They

came THREE to an order!)

1. How often do you clean out your refridgerator?

 

Yikes! Do I really have to answer? LOL! When I can't find something. Then

I pull everything out, toss what I can't identify (or don't want to!) or has

expired. I compost what can be composted.

 

2. How often do you clean out your freezer?

 

Rarely. It doesn't stay nearly as busy as my fridge does.

 

3. What are some creative ways you use up leftovers?

 

Stir fries, soups, catch as catch can suppers.

 

4. What is the wierdest thing you have found in either

your fridge or freezer?

 

Can't think of anything off the bat.
