Refrigerator Challenge

OK Tvindy has challenged us to post the following:

1. The front of the closed door of your fridge... (showing magnets and other clutter).

Now you can see what busy lives we lead - school, church, magnets etc etc.

2. An item that has been in the fridge the longest - explain what it is. (I've used poetic license here as the original challenge was for three items - the old cucumber and broccoli were simply too horrible to photograph).

Photographed here is my container of decaffeinated coffee and spoon which has been in the fridge for so long that ice has formed on it. I've reverted to drinking full strength coffee.

3. An item that I am certain no one else has in their fridge.

Well.....meal worms and anti fungal fin treatment for Sarah's axolotyl, Pablo. The meal worms have to be kept cold so they semi-hibernate and don't escape.

We should do this more often - my fridge has been cleaned, re-organised and wiped out with that special vanilla fridge cleaner.

That was interesting. I was especially intrigued by all the papers on your fridge door. I've heard that covering a refrigerator door with magnets and papers is mostly an American activity, but apparently Australians do it too.

I looked up axolotyl. Interesting. I've heard of these creatures before but didn't know the name. I also didn't know you could buy them as pets.

I once read a theory of human evolution that suggested that humans are equivalent to axolotyls. One day one of our pre-human ancestors gave birth to a baby which grew up but never matured. It always had an oversized head and never grew much fur. It stayed curious and playful throughout its life, which made it good at acquiring knowledge and inventing things, and its children were just like it. I wish I remembered the name of that theory.

Your photos are certainly teeny-tiny.

I to have joined the trend. As a blogger, i feel like showing my fridge all open and laid bare is kind of like playing doctor, in the sense of sharing something strangely intimate.

Opening the fridge is literally to reveal a place only our closest friends ever see. I wonder if people will have uncomfortable insights about me, or vice versa.
