True Bachelor:Fridge Edition







Welcome to True Bachelor. It is a joy to bring you the sweet beauty that is my refrigerator. Here you can behold it in all its fullness and its transformation to an empty wasteland as sparse as Hiroshimas landscape after Little Boy was dropped.
Observe the above picture for a moment and you will see that it has its share of items inside. Bread, soda ("pop" for all you weirdos), apples and other stuff. From a distance I would say that this fridge looks innocent enough but its when you really dive into the inside you see something more sick and twisted. Kinda like the BTK killer only in the form of a refrigerator. Onward...


Lets start out simple. Here is a view of the top shelf. On the plate is some old dried cake from late September of 2004. It isn't moldy cause its so dry! So it really doesn't play on my fears when I open the door. The container in the back left isn't really vegetable spread, its actually some old rolls from an unknown time frame. Might have been from September of 2004,might have been Feb of 2005. Its a mystery that will never be solved.

Here we have some home made pickles from my mom's garden. Pickles are made to sit around for long periods of time but these are no longer sealed in. They have been exposed to air for perhaps a year or so, once again I'm not so sure on this one. I felt sorry for them all alone in that corner so I included them in my photos. These green items are most likely very slimy and horrible tasting, that's why I'm going to eat them for dinner tonight.

This is the top shelf before I removed some of the finer items. There are a couple specialty items that I will go into more depth about in a moment but I wanted to get a close up view of the battlefield as it stood before I altered it. You can see the cake and rolls in there enjoying the afternoon. Also worthy of mention is that garlic bread on the right side there. Its been in there for a month or two or three.

This is what my daily lunch consists of. Oscar Mayer Cotto Salami. Why are there four packages in there you ask? I'm not so sure. I only eat the fresh ones and if I feel that its getting old it gets bumped to the back and a new one takes its place. Once I bought two big packs because they were on sale but I couldn't finish them in time so the poor dead meat was wasted and shoved in the corner. Now I only buy the smaller amounts.

Yay! Delicious Cajun seasoned turkey blob. I was given this from a guy I work with. His wife ordered it on QVC (home shopping network type deal)! Don't worry...It's shipped in dry ice...I think...This fine piece of turkey "breast" has been in there for two to three weeks. To be honest, I know why he gave it to me. It tasted good to me at first but it got old and gross rather quick. I'm not too picky about food so I thought it was great to be given a big ol piece of meat but I only munched on it for a couple days and then it made me feel sick. Here it lies in the fridge waiting patiently for my lips to once again pierce the outer surface of its gnasty Cajun skin! I decline its temptations. The apple adds a nice touch to the photo though!

Here we have my soda collection! If you look close you will see that all four of these only have a swallows worth left in them. They all seem to have the same amount which I actually find odd because I really enjoy soda and like to drink all of it. These where excluded from total consumption and pushed aside for my new collection of soda.


WARNING: VOMIT INDUCING PHOTOS!

VIEW AT OWN RISK!


Potato salad. Also from September of last year. I think it was pretty good stuff when it was fresh but now may be another story. I suppose I should have named this dude because its been in my fridge for almost a year and I open my fridge every day. We haven't talked much but this bowl has stuck closer than a brother through the rough times. Sadly he is going on a trip in which he will not be returning. Perhaps a relative of his will visit some day!

Even I was surprised at this one when I opened the lid. This is my grandmothers very delicious spinach dip! If its so delicious then why is there so much left in there to gather fungus and ebola and hiv and stuff? I just cant eat a ton of stuff all the time. Sadly this was wasted and decided to grow a beard. Needless to say, this pile of sludge didn't need to be pinched on St. Patricks Day!


These tomatoes sat on my counter for weeks. Middle mato seems to have a problem. It mentioned something about being its own individual and wanting to be different so it grew some dreadlocks. Actually I ate some of the tomatoes but I became lazy and didn't eat the rest, resulting in Rastamato.

Behold! The fridge has been purged of its demons! All that remains is my one pack of salami,bread,apples and my new soda collection...along with all my condiments on the side, mainly hot sauces and I guess a buncha mustard too...

Now I have room to fit the bodies inside...oh I mean...now I can fill it with lots of delicious food.

Wow...that tomato looked rabid. I applaud your bravery as I haven't had the courage to open my fridge in months, just knowing that there is smoked salmon from last winter sitting in there with some thanksgiving day leftovers.

Yak. Why all the spam? And I'm not talking about the fridge.

This is my first visit to your blog, and I must say, I've enjoyed myself immensely. Those fridge photos were inspiring in so many ways. Impressive.

Mmmmm..............old food.
I thought I was the only one that saved my old food. I like to keep mine around because it takes me back to a more simpler, happier time in my life. Keep adding more entries, please!
