A chapter in the book Coming Back from Her Stroke
Checking the Refrigerator
by Bill Schott
People have been very kind to me. I have received meals from nice ladies and offers to help around the house from nice men.
Now what I need is a trash bag and a wheeled trailer for cleaning the refrigerator.
First, the milk. Refrigerated, unopened, and looking good. Sell by date -- late 2023; it is now late January. Drink it or feed the sink?
Shredded cheese, or is it sawdust? Yogurt, or spoiled milk, ready for laboratory work.
Last year's venison, gift from my son, in freezer. "Last year" means, the last year he shot a deer.
Frozen peas, which become pea soup when the bag is opened.
Ice cube trays with empty compartments. Am I so lazy I placed empty trays in the freezer, or has time frozen the water into empty air?
I guess I will pull out a Hot Pocket and come back to this later.
