Last night, we had to shift the fridge to a different spot in the kitchen because there are some contractors coming over tomorrow afternoon to do something to the gas pipe behind it.
However, our kitchen is really a tiny one and thus, we had to move the fridge to the dining area. It was a pretty simple task but my mom decided that we might as well clean out the fridge too and I had to lend a hand as cleaning out fridges (especially one which hasn't been cleaned for ages) is a messy affair which no sane human should attempt to do alone.
As expected, I discovered a handful of things that I never realised were in there despite the fact that I take things in and out from the fridge at least a gazillion times in a week. Amongst the stuff I found were;
1. A couple of small packs of yoghurt which expired on 13.04.05. I ate one last night whilst watching tv and because I haven't keeled over and died yet, I'll probably eat the other pack for breakfast tomorrow morn.
2. A quarter portion of a small pumpkin
3. A half-slice of apple which has turned brown at the edges and which my mom had adamantly refused to throw out. She said she would finish it up soon but I just checked a few minutes ago -- she hasn't.
4. A small tube of plastic/rubber adhesive a.k.a superglue. Apparently a non-edible item... =p
5. A dozen packets of McDonald's chilli sauce. These probably have been around for a year already! LOL
6. A tiny box of very, very, VERY shrivelled-up dates. Of course, my mom didn't let me throw these out either.
7. A bottle of pasta sauce, still half-full (although as far as I know, I've never seen my mom use this in her cooking before). Smelled really funny so it HAD to be discarded.
8. A box of mentos sweets which didn't contain any mentos but some tiny chocolate balls thingy that were as hard as rocks.
9. Ten oranges, five red apples, seven peaches, four starfruits and a bunch of grapes. I was amazed to find my fridge so well-stocked!!!
10. A tupperware containing red agar-agar -- remnants from last Hari Raya, I think. Looked very hard and very unappetising. But my mom said she'll be recycling them. I didn't know you could "recycle" agar-agar!!
PS: Doesn't "The Fridge" sound like the perfect title for a Jap/Korean/Singapore-horror flick because it conforms to the rule of such titles i.e. consisting of a definite article followed by a noun? For instance, The Maid, The Eye, The Ring, The Grudge, The Spiral, etc etc...
