My Embarassing Inventory

Ooooh! Shiny new fridge. Restocking shiny new fridge involves pulling out the contents of the old fridge.

I discover:

• 3 jars of pesto
• 2 jars each of
  • black olive tapenade
  • capers
  • pear chutney
  • baby dills
  • black sesame seeds
  • umeboshi plums
  • mincemeat, one of which I just opened last night.
• 5 containers of olives, 3 of which are Kalamata
• one third of a jar of artichoke hearts (about two tablespoons)
• three jars of preserves containing less than a tablespoon in each. It wasn’t me. That is all I have to say about that.
• 3 tiny chunks of parmesan cheese, each in a separate bag
• A jar with the date 2003 on it, which means we must have moved it from the old house in 2006.
• 2 extra pounds of butter
• Half a pound of shortening, which we don’t cook with. This perplexed me until I realized that it was for soapmaking.
• Six dozen eggs, which isn’t a surprise, but a marketing problem

And the piece de resistance:

• A jar with a question mark written on top of it in my husband’s handwriting, in permanent ink
