To the fridge. To clean it. And I am scared.
I am the grandchild of a depression era grandmother. Nothing was EVER thrown away. Wrapping paper reused (very environmental). Milk bags in our boots to keep our feet dry (very uncomfortable). Ever last smidge of batter scraped from baking bowls (very disappointing).
I can't bear to throw away leftovers. It seems such a waste - and I really intend to use them, the very next day. Really I do.
Except I am terrible at doing that. And they end up in the fridge for... well a while. Till you can't get other stuff in there. Or get other stuff out. And my charming habit of storing them in dishes (trying to avoid prolonged contact with plastic) means you have no clue what surprise awaits you.
The other night I dreamt that my lovely friend Natalie came to my house when I wasn't here and surprised me by making me dinner. My lovely, organized, tidy, on top of everything friend Natalie. And in my dream my first thought was "Oh Lord, she saw my fridge".
Definitely time to clean it out.
If I don't post tomorrow please send someone to look for me.

Don't fall in. :)
I have stuff in the back of mine that's been there for months.
I'm too scared to go in and I admire your courage.
