These days were (2) clear out the fridge (of the gross things and expired things) (3) clean the fridge (4) clear out the freezer (5) clean the freezer.

I did this over two days. It was much easier for me to clear out and clean the fridge in one day and then do the same for the freezer the next day...because I still have a small fridge and freezer and almost no counetr space.

It should be noted that all four of these tasks were lumped into ONE DAY last year in The Kitchn Cure...because they are mean bastards.

Here are the before and after pictures...they are boring and sparse. They are proof that my cooking habits went out the window in the last few weeks...but tomorrow morning I get to sleep in and then go for local produce in the morning. I think it's time to start making pitchers of gazpacho.

Yeah...kinda sparse. I regret tossing the egg container because the door is actually a stupid place for eggs. When I get my next egg container I'll remove the shelf insert for eggs and just use it as a shelf. I also ate lunch between before and after which made it more barren than before.

I don't have a mug that's growing hair, I'm just storing my green onions in a bit of water.

I don't have a lot of shit going on in my freezer either...This is usually stuffed full of frozen broth in the winter.

Maybe you're wondering what's going on in the blue container. That is a WIDE COLLECTION of different types of ice packs. because...dancer. The bottom of the container isn't black...but the ice pack made to wrap around my ankle is.

After this picture I went back and labeled that lonely Tupperware container. It's full of little frozen dill blocks from my garden. Dill likes to bolt early here.

I keep feeling like The Kitchn Cure is just waiting to be horrible to me...like it was last year.

...ETA....

Bonus Weekend Assignment

Keep your cleaning momentum going this weekend with a little bonus assignment: wash the dishes after every meal, and don't go to bed until the kitchen is clean. This isn't a mandatory assignment, but we encourage you to do it! (And we know many of you do this already!)

One of the problems I have with getting all the dishes washed is that my lack of great amounts of drying space means I often don't have enough room for everything to dry. I try.

And "Don't go to bed until the kitchen is clean"

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!

My shrink is currently on watch for, and worried about, my yearly pre-anxiety/pre-depression manic spree of productivity. My September appointment has been bumped up a week because of how predictable my need for the higher dosage is. If I start thinking that the KITCHEN MUST BE CLEANED BEFORE BED that is a HUGE indicator that I need higher dosage STAT.

Love your ice pack organizer, I recognized right away what it was. Between my dancing and Nice Man's various aches and pains we have a drawer in the freezer full too...lol!

Yes, do not clean before bed! Bed only! (I am up having avoided doing the important-for-tomorrow costume fixes till now, and cannot go to bed till they are done. But believe you me, I would like to....)

Interestingly enough, I have never known a fridge door without eggs, or a fridge where eggs would live anywhere but in the door.

I think it's the fact that it doesn't seem to make sense to me to store eggs in the most temperature fluctuating area of the fridge.
