So, several, okay, like FIFTY people either commented or emailed me about posting pictures of my refrigerator and two years ago when I started this blog, I never imagined I would ever post about something as mundane and normal as my refrigerator organization. Alas, I am eating up any normalcy I can find. :)

So there it is folks, the refrigerator that brings me Zen, the place that makes sense when no place else does. My GE refrigerator. :) I wrote about it here for those who missed the post. It may seem insane but really there are a few areas of my life that when they are out of order, chaos seems to reign, but if I can keep just a few places of my life in order I at least have that. Is that nuts? Okay, don't answer that. :)

So you see we have beverages on the top shelf along with a fresh pineapple we scored this week. Nothing too exciting there, a gallon of orange juice, a gallon of milk, and our new favorite beverage, a pitcher of water with citrus fruits cut up and stirred in.

The next shelf typically is loaded with yogurt, but this particular day we had harvested pears from my mother-in-law's tree and tomatoes from the garden, so they took that shelf along with the ground flax and strawberry freezer jam, both necessities in this house.

The third shelf is where we keep the eggs (I used to keep them in the door, but did you know you should not keep things like eggs and milk in the door because it isn't as cold there?)

The fourth shelf is my favorite. It is where we store washed and cut up produce, like carrots, celery, strawberries, peppers, etc. Those containers are from Tupperware and were my loot from having a Tupperware party two years ago. They are orange, my favorite color and they are AWESOME. They stack beautifully and I have even more of them than are pictured. Those white buttons on the front adjust the airflow to the produce so your produce doesn't sweat and sit in water. There are also ridges along the bottom to collect any condensation that may happen. Can I just tell you that these things really increase the longevity of my produce?!

Then in the top drawer I keep whole fruits and veggies like oranges, grapefruits, and such and in the bottom drawer, deli meats and cheeses. In the door I keep butter in the butter thingy along with a little container of random sauces from fast food restaurants and Chinese take out.

The rest of the door is mostly condiments arranged by use so salad dressings are together, hot dog and hamburger condiments are together, etc.

So there you have it folks! Not terribly exciting aside from maybe the unmentioned gin in the door or the Yuengling on the bottom of the door, reserved for special occasions, oh yeah and maybe that little purple love note from my husband :).

AAAHH one of my favorite places in my house! :) So how about you? Do you have any refrigerator organizing tips? Come on Devin, I know you do!
