You Are What You Eat....

I have heard it said that you can tell a lot about an individual by the contents of their refrigerator. Some time take a moment to peruse your own frig and see what it may say about you. Better yet, take a look at a friend or family members frig and see if its contents don't reveal something about them that you did or did not know...you are what you eat. I had the good fortune of having my dear friend, Turtle, do an inventory of my frig. This inventory was not planned so as to not think I stocked something to contrive a dishonest 'snapshot' of its full contents.
**You could also approach this list like a short (yet to be written) culinary-novella of my life in the kitchen:

  1. oh fantastic!!! of course this could not be any stretch as I distinctly remember growing up with much of this...rarely is there any space for something to move and if you are patient you will find all sorts of goodies...no wonder I am happy when our fridge is seemingly stocked after a successful trip to the store..it makes me feel like home! of course, ours is not nearly as elegant nor well rounded...Julia Childs would be proud and so would the Sicilians!! by the way, the salad you mad was to die for!!!
