I'm not sure why this is a fact of life out here, but for some reason there is constantly someone taking off on a last minute trip. Because of the heat and the lack of high-quality fresh stuff available on our side of town, even when items are kept in the fridge they don't have as long a shelf-life as in the US.Consequently when folks head out on a trip they usually dump their entire fridge contents on some lucky friend.
Tonight, we were that friend! These folks lived across the border so we got the following items we haven't/never purchase/d:
Big yummy seedless grapes
Hillshire Farms lunch meat
Mushrooms
Fancy grape juice
Home-cooked pork and bean dish
Little yogurts marketed to kids (?)
Real cheddar cheese
Fancy jam
baby carrots
Fancy dried sausage that looks expensive!
......and then just lots of fruits and veggies and milk....
Tom said that our fridge hasn't looked this full in AGES! (we're not low on the food budget or anything....it is just that things spoil so quickly we shop 3-4 times a week.)
You are also seeing bananas in the fridge for the obvious reason....yummy biscuits I made the other night, yogurt, and mozzarella cheese (we get this EVERYWHERE here for some reason?!?).
