Whats the strangest item in your refrigerator at this very moment?

I'm guessing the vast majority of us Mahaloians are currently harboring some oddity in our fridge.
I dare you to go rumage around in yours and then confess what the weirdest thing is that you find in there.

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Hmmmm.....I am known for the strangeness of my food items. It may depend on what part of the world you're from whether the contents of my fridge are odd or not.

If you're from Scandinavia, the fact that I have fermented cod liver oil, piima, fil mjolk and villi is probably not odd (the last three are kind of like yogurt that ferment on the counter top). Oh, and Havarti and about 4 other varieties of cheese, at least. May as well be in Gdansk or Helsinki.

If you're from South America, the Green packets of various sweet peppers might not be too odd, except that they include Turkish Saativi and Hungarian Paprika peppers.

It's probably odd that I have about 5 gallons of milk straight from the cow, until you consider I have both a cow and three kids (as well as various and sundry other kids that I seem to collect).

If you're from the Middle East, the pomegranate and pomegranate molasses won't phase you. Neither will the sheep's milk cheese or the kefir.

All the various mustards, herbs and wines (and the cheeses) would not make anyone from France bat an eyelash.

And the Kombucha would not phase a German, nor would 3 kinds of sausage (and the mustard or sauerkraut).

Perhaps the oddest thing about my fridge is what's *not* in it: eggs. I have 9 dozen in the house, but they're in styrofoam containers in a cool spot in the pantry. They're only lightly washed, because they do keep weeks at room temperature. People didn't start putting eggs in the fridge until they started getting eggs from the grocery instead of from their own hens or a neighbor's. Washing eggs removes the protective coating that seals the pores in the shells, keeping bacteria from entering (or chicks would never live), but unwashed eggs don't sell. So store-bought eggs must be refrigerated to be safe, while old-fashioned eggs don't need to be.

Now, had you asked me about my freezer, I'd say it would be a few years back, when my daughter was 3 and got gum on her fuzzy pajama shirt. My husband stuck the shirt in the freezer, but I didn't know he'd done it. So I opened the freezer for something, and out fell her rock-hard pajama top! Oh, and maybe TMI, but I also froze my last child's placenta because she was born in the winter at home, and I wanted to plant it under the rose bush she's named for.

I have never frozen a Pomeranian.

A Dictionary. So that when I use words from it, I sound cool.

See how cool that sounded?

Actually, I have a hard drive in the freezer in hopes that it will be possible to retrieve files off it before it completely dies.

A small garbage bag full of boxes of grape jello and pistachio pudding. Why? Because I cannot buy either on a regular basis where I live so I stocked up on them. I use grape to make a congealed blueberry salad and pistachio for a watergate type salad. Why are they in the refrigerator? The ants decided they llike my house and nothing yet has managed to get rid of them. Pesky little critters actually got inside some sealed packs of food in the pantry. Since I can't easily replace these, they take up refrigerator space!

When I was pregnant and had weird pregnancy-brain symptoms, I occasionally left the phone, my keys, the remote, and other random things in the fridge or freezer. Usually the freezer, because it was ridiculously hot that summer and I was constantly in search of ice.

Lately though, there isn't much strange. There is a spray bottle of home-made aloe vera lotion in there, because it doesn't have preservatives in it, plus it's excellent on sun burn that way. Since we have three feet of snow on the ground, that's kind of weird this time of year.

Honestly, I just got back to college from break, so not much is in the fridge. I'd have to say that the strangest thing is about 100 packets of duck sauce and soy sauce.
