Freezer Jenga

Roommates inspect the contents of the freezer  Okay  I think I see 'em back there  She reaches in  Careful  Crash  Everything spills out and falls on top of her  Erin: Hey, you found my raviolies  Next time I want corndogs, I think I'll go to the cafeteria
 
While at school, I generally share an apartment with five other girls.  I have learned from experience that when six girls with uncoordinated grocery lists share a fridge, the refrigerator becomes an overstuffed, chaotic, demonic entity that will devour anything left in it for more than 48 hours.  You won't see your carrots again.  And if you do find them, well, by that time they won't be fit for anything other than fungal consumption. 
There are three courses of action that can be taken in such a situation:  A) find an alternate means of keeping your food cold (living in Alaska helps), B) give up and survive on peanut butter, or C) give up and brave the fridge. 

Should you pick C, I humbly suggest a few items that may come in handy: 
-Duct tape and possibly a padlock to secure all items you want to keep track of
-A helmet, shield, ice ax, and extra pair of hands for when you want to dig something out of the freezer
-Steel wool, antiseptic, and a spade for cleaning it out at the end of the semester (Seriously.  At the end of last semester, our freezer had caramel-colored stalactites hanging from the ceiling.  Don't know why, don't want to know why.)
-The Ghost Busters (it couldn't hurt)

Onward, my brave soldiers! 
To the fridge!

  1. So true! I've seen the inside of your apartment freezer, and it was SCARY! :-) I'll never forget the time that a foreign roomate of mine cleaned the oven with bathroom cleaner. We never baked again in our stove! The fumes were horrible. I finally found a moment to check out your blogs. I like them!
