I have been seeing ads on TV for these new fridges that have the hidden inside door for your fruits and veggies, and I think it's really neat. At first, I was like "Hey! Let's get one!" Then I pointed out to myself that I have a hard enough time noticing past date food in the fridge, as is.
There was a point a few weeks ago when we had three containers of sour cream in the fridge. All full and unopened. Then on Sunday, D pulled out two clamshells of moldy strawberries. And onetime, we had three bags of frozen corn in the freezer. One full and two half empty. Or half full, however you look at it.
D is not a big fan of leftovers, which seems weird but when you know all the rest of his little food quirks it actually seems normal, and because of this I often discover neat little fridge treasures. Let's just say that when I do find them ...... the food plus it's storage container end up in the garbage.
Sorry, Mother Earth.
I have since began storing leftovers in glass bowls to force me to notice better, and to encourage me to clean out the container. And I don't cook as much food. Or I make D eat it all at dinner. Anything to not have leftovers in my fridge!
Oh well, at least when AJ gets to a point when she needs to do a science project for school, we will have many specimens for her to chose from.

Potato Fail
I am a lover of carbs. I eat a lot of veggies, but nothing feels better than a heavy carbohydrate. One of my faves is a good old potato. Baked, mashed, fried, french fried or even chippy. Potatoes are awesome.
D, however, is not a fan. He will eat fries, as it is so easy to forget they are even made of potatoes, plus they are so good. Because of this, we never have potatoes in the house, which is just fine with me. I know they are the enemy.
We have been doing a lot of BBQing the past month and that includes veggies. The BBQ just seems to add a certain flavor to a veggie that a steamer or pot can't. Yesterday as I was shopping for our veggie of the night, I picked up a small bag of baby yellow potatoes. I had this wonderful idea of making myself a potato and mushroom kabob. Easy enough.
Not for me!
My first mistake was having the idea to do this, period. My second mistake was putting a food that cooks quickly on the same skewer as a food that takes much longer to cook. My third mistake was not pre-cooking the potatoes before throwing them on the BBQ. My fourth mistake was changing the plan and trying to fry them on the stove over high heat to make the process faster.
