Comestible Consumption Competition – Day 8
January 23rd, 2007 by Sonja

… in which we provide photographic evidence of the horror.

LightHusband got a bee in his bonnet this morning and emptied our freezers (3 … one small chest freezer and two frig-freezers) on to our washer and dryer.  The inventory system was not working.  The LightChildren are now compliant with the challenge. They will not, however, provide an inventory for said challenge. Ungrateful wretches. Once all of the frozen food was on the washer/dryer, he photographed it (while I hid my head in the sand). He then reorganized it all in the 3 freezers. Here are the photos of our frozen food, the pantry and our refrigerator.

Freezer

Note: not all boxes and bags are full. For instance, there’s a huge bag of frozen chicken breasts in there that only had two breasts in it. I do realize, however, that this does nothing but incriminate me.

Refrigerator

Believe it or not, our frig is beginning to look a little empty.  Okay, not empty … but at least we are using stuff instead of just piling leftovers in that never get eaten.  Now they get eaten.

Pantry

The top shelf is almost all condiments (because LightHusband is having a love affair with condiments and hey, at least I know where he is at night). The big red tub is dog food.  Yes, there are 3 jars of maraschino cherries.  A failed holiday cooking attempt. Stop laughing … you know you have those too.

Next week I’m starting a 12 step program for hoarders.  Do I have any fellow members?

    I think you may just win this one…:) I’m lacking the freezers to compete, although eating straight condiments could get a little old in the end… 😉

    Sherri … I don’t know. I think the real winners are the people who had to drop out first. The so-called winner of the prize is actually the biggest dummy in this case. I was never in this to win, but now I really wish I hadn’t entered because it’s pointing out a huge failure on my part … for the whole world to see. OUCH.

    […] Lunch – after the great freezer purge and reorganize we all had various frozen treats that were reheated in the microwave.  I had chicken potpie.  We have many, many chicken pot pies.  The LightChildren had single serve lasagnas. […]

    I absolutely do not have maraschino cherries. I have never bought them. Having worked at said cherries processing plant, I know what goes into those things. The dead mice and rocks and bugs are much less gross than the stuff they put on them on purpose.

    But surely you have the detritus from other failed holiday baking attempts?

    This was delightful. I too have a beloved spouse who is in love with condiments. However, I would draw the line if all that were left were his bottles of “Dave’s Insanity Sauce”.

    Great food for thought… no pun intended!!!

    Ahhh … MoHotta MoBetta … yep we have some of those bottles too! Now we have a bottle of something that is several gazillion kazillion fracktiloid units … or however they measure heat. I can’t remember the word. Hot to me is mild to many people … soooo …. I’d starve.

    Showing pictures like that to a pregnant woman is like showing porn to a 16 year old boy. …off to eat some more now…
