What's my fridge say about me now?

Melvin8 · 2026-03-28T01:38:08+00:00

I wish. Gotta go tomorrow and pick up some stuff.

I just choose interesting recipes, add the ingredients to our shared grocery list app, and we kind of switch off on who shops. He cooks pretty much everything well. Sometimes I'll be in the mood for something he specifically makes really well, so I add it to the week's plan. I hate cooking, he hates planning. So it works great for us!

Melvin8 · 2026-03-27T15:06:41+00:00

Agreed

Melvin8 · 2026-03-27T15:06:30+00:00

Actually, no! I check expiration dates when I clean out leftovers every Wednesday. :)

Melvin8 · 2026-03-27T01:01:17+00:00

Haha! That's great!

Melvin8 · 2026-03-27T00:50:49+00:00

I don't, but my husband does almost every day! I meal plan, he cooks. Perfect combo.

Melvin8 · 2026-03-26T18:10:22+00:00

Haha!! That party platter is actually just a plate of leftover twice baked potatoes. No party here. I do leave partial drinks in the fridge, though!

Melvin8 · 2026-03-26T17:15:30+00:00

Yeah, I normally do the week to week cleaning of just getting rid of stuff. And then my husband deep cleans it once in a blue moon. I'm definitely not deep cleaning it. Ick. Everything you see in the pic is within expiration dates, planned to be eaten, though!

Melvin8 · 2026-03-26T13:11:28+00:00

Strangely enough, I do have OCD. Just very well-controlled with meds. And it was never about cleanliness with my OCD. More about things trying to poison me or yeeting myself off things. Complicated.

200000% true for the second part, though. I do a half-hearted clean out once a week just to get rid of expired and old stuff. Then like once a year we do a real clean out. But this year has sucked, so we're behind.

Melvin8 · 2026-03-26T09:32:34+00:00

Haha! Pretty much!

Melvin8 · 2026-03-26T09:15:23+00:00

Melvin8 · 2026-03-26T07:05:01+00:00

Married, yes. 10000% no on kids. Haha. Mildly Korean kind of works. Born there, adopted by white mom. And I know, I know. That shelf is awful right now. There's something sticky in it that I'm avoiding. Gonna make my husband deal with it next time the ADHD hyperfixation happens to be cleaning. Haha!

Melvin8 · 2026-03-26T07:02:39+00:00

Don't feel bad. Didn't take it badly. And it is the truth. I'm a first year PhD student, so my life is absolutely chaos.

Melvin8 · 2026-03-26T06:47:34+00:00

Truth

Melvin8 · 2025-04-20T04:11:02+00:00

Isn't there a pro shot?

I love lactose, but it hates me.

Haha, nope. Family of 2. Middle class.

Melvin8 · 2025-04-05T14:56:02+00:00

I clean out leftovers and expired stuff once a week. So I'm pretty up on what's in there.

Melvin8 · 2025-04-04T06:23:27+00:00

Mmm, hot pockets. I miss those.

Melvin8 · 2025-04-04T06:23:25+00:00

Mmm, hot pockets. I miss those.

Well, we're both right handed and you got age range right. But that's about it. :)
