Name 5 THINGS ALWAYS in Your FRIDGE!
In my icebox you'll always find sour cream, unsalted butter, cream cheese, plain yogurt and fresh cheese. What's always "LIVING" in your fridge?

Five is really tough. I'll pretend a wine cooler and a water dispenser/beverage chiller don't count:-) Neither does the vegetable crisper, for that matter!
milk (skim, 2% and soy for hubby)
cheeses
sour cream
condiments (I'm sooo proud of myself for this one because it covers, well, all condiments!)
eggs

Use to be milk but now I can go a week or two without it.
Earth Balance (butter only better; which I never thought I'd say)
organic ketchup (for the kid so she'll eat other better things but no HFCS)
organic peanut butter
The rest are often but not must have except various fruits and veggies in season (I just found a mango that fell behind the dang ketchup...).

Milk, butter, eggs, cheese, Pepsi.
Oh yeah, and some sort of dribbled something-or-other that is eternally sticky. I clean it and the next day it's back, but it's moved and/or changed color. Since there are only the two of us humans and the Labrador has yet to grow opposable thumbs, I blame my son.
He probably stays up nights planning how the next sticky spot will be bigger, better, more colorful and yes, stickier. I believe his ultimate goal is to glue the capers to the glass shelves so firmly that the jar can never be removed. He doesn't like capers.

@Calichef - the worst day of my life was when I realized a jar of olives had somehow come unscrewed, tipped over and solidified every jar on the fridge door to the shelf. It also smelled like vinegar.
Currently there's a big hardened milk spot I haven't had the energy to scrub yet - BF didn't realize that milk cartons that close with the plastic tops? CAN'T BE STORED ON THEIR SIDES!!
embolini9 at 12:42PM on 06/18/08
Kimchi or its lingering odor
(nope, baking soda is no match for kimchi-stink--I pretty much have to scrub the whole thing out so it will smell like bleach.)
