Rabbit, Rabbit and This Could be a Song
It’s been a long holiday weekend, and then we come to today and “rabbit, rabbit”. For the uninitiated, on the first day of every month you say “rabbit, rabbit” as your first words of the day for good luck. Don’t ask me where that originated, but I picked it up in college and it’s stuck with me ever since. But here we are in June, after a long holiday weekend of soccer tournament games and barbecues and I’m trying to think if there was much to write about in the good food department.
Well, most of it was good in your traditional barbecue sense, but nothing much was out of the ordinary. That’s why today’s photo is so ordinary, but “good” in a different way. I didn’t have anything planned for Saturday evening because I expected we’d go out to dinner. Our plans changed and we were going to a party that wouldn’t allow for dining out. I scrounged around in the freezer and came up with this “gift to myself” dinner – a baked ziti meal that I had frozen months before. It wasn’t as good as when freshly made, but it was minimal work – a good thing for me.
This Could be a Song
I was inspired to clean out the refrigerator today. It was long overdue as the contents of this bag will prove. There were 5 jars from jelly, 4 bottles of salsa, 3 pickled products, two expired relishes, and a jar of sun dried tomatoes. Well, maybe not exactly but you get the point. We had more opened, but half filled bottles of various relishes, sauces and other types of condiments than anyone should have taking up room in their refrigerator. If anyone dared to eat them, I would anticipate an immediate visit to the ER. Thank goodness the lids were stuck on so tightly that anyone attempting to explore the contents met with too much resistance to pursue the effort. Now that the purging and cleaning have been completed, I can’t help peeking into the fridge just for fun.
Are we the only ones with so many orphaned jars in their refrigerator?

Got something to say?
First of all, that baked ziti looks just as good as day 1 and I’m glad you didn’t purge that in your refrigerator cleaning. I’m facing the same task in a few days when a new refrigerator arrives. Anyone who knows me well knows how much I enjoy organizing everything so the arrival of a new refrigerator will please me very much. I’ll keep peeking too!
Hmm, do you think the clutter is worth the joy received when it’s been purged?
What could be better than clean, unsticky refrigerator shelves with sudden room for legitimate condiments that are not 2 years past their “use by” date!
Nothing could be better – except for maybe leaving them that way without filling them up again! Buy and use up is my new motto!
I will give my household about 3 months before the clutter builds up again and then, – oh joy! – I’ll purge and be joyful again!
