eww

What is this, you ask? What appears to be a nice display of rubbermaid, is actually a collection from Sydney's locker...chicken soup, black beans and rice, and something quite unrecognizable, all of which could very likely be months old. I've not yet opened these bowls of rotting leftovers, for fear so much pressure has built up, the contents might very well explode. I have half a notion to just pitch them, but dig this chick reads my blog and we all know how environmental she is. Sure, I could just pitch them without saying anything, but I am trying to be greener and well, I'm afraid I'd forever feel like a fraud when visiting her blog...

hmm...wish me luck.

haha!! That is hilarious! Reminds of when we found a banana in Tessa's swim bag that was so old it actually turned to liquid! I didn't even know that was possible. Discusting.

Oh, what a familiar site. Before I scrolled down I thought for sure it was "clean out the fridge day". At our house we celebrate the colors that bacteria produce...

Must admit I've pitched them before. I was weak,and nauseated.

Oh yeah, almost forgot to mention the very worst smelling rotten food - raw potato.

just opened one of those the other day...from under the seat of my car where it had rolled...and it had fur! Like the spray on hair stuff that comes out of a can. I'm as ecofriendly as they come...just couldn't do it...taking consolation in the fact that I put it in the recycle bin!

I eyed a couple of things in the fridge yesterday that I was hesitant to go near - came home to find my husband had cleaned out everything...lucky me! Good luck to you!

Bwahaaa! Now, my question is, with such delectable and healthy selections such as beans/rice/chicken soup, why on earth would there be leftovers?! Regardless of your level of "greenness," kudos for preparing such savory lunches!

That explains the phrase in our family, "That is so Sydney..." It is synonomous with outrageous yet endearing, delightfully disgusting or repulsive but then again, smile-making. Yes, what would a refrigerator be without some fuzzy fur 'neath a vacu-seal lid. Have you found those containers that you really didn't know what they contained...a meat or a vegetable, what was it? Yes, Lisa, a potato gone bad always wins...or is it potatoe?

Oh no! We just found what used to be an orange under one of Jon's car seats. It looks like a walnut (in the shell) with fur - SO GROSS!

Ugh. Been there!! In moments like those, I always arm myself with a bottle of bleach...hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. :)

So, what did you do??! I feel like I must confess......I have have even pitched a tupperware. I know. Horrible. I am still asking for forgiveness. And I threw away something from a icy cool fridge, not a funky locker. Oh, sister, there is some FUNK in those there containers.
