I guess I have to face the goat loin chops in the freezer which were bought in the spirit of adventurous eating but have terrified me ever since they arrived.

My big problem is all the leftover jams and jellies. I make lots of different ones and I want to try them all so I don’t always wait to the end of the pot. And then I forget the opened one at the back of the fridge.

Every so often, we’ll institute a Condiments Week, which is the time to use up the last quarter-inch of horseradish or preserves or odd pickled something. It’s kind of thrilling, actually, to remember all the awesome little ways to push our saucing thoughts beyond our habits.

Oh, this is a battle I deal with all the time. In my case, I just prefer the taste of the fresh stuff all the time, but feel some innate need to have a constant stash of canned beans, tuna, rice and the like in my house! I sadly end up throwing away freezer burned homemade brownies, waffles and such every few months. But then I will suddenly have a week where I use ONLY pantry items. I am living in a world of extremes.

I’m eating down my fridge and pantry all the time. Occasionally I get into a fit of trying to get it emptied, but why? The trick is the spice and condiments section, which can make even the most boring things interesting. Chili paste; fish sauce; soy sauce; sesame oil; vinegars of various sorts; tabasco or other hot sauce. A base of some interesting grain, whatever veggies are in need of eating, something interesting from last fall in the freezer. It all works.

I like to think of this a bit like a Scrabble game… using all your last letters perfectly so you hit a double word score (tuna salad on a bagel). I play this game weekly with my heaping crisper drawer in my fridge… I’ve got to use it all before the next round of the Saturday morning farmers’ market. I confess to making lots of mixed veggie soup and composed salads on Thursday and Friday nights this time year. Press on! You can do it!

Heh – I love that you’ve “eaten down” your fridge. It’s like gastronomic spring cleaning!
