Fridge Friday ... I did it my way...

Dear Fridge Friday people

(and other nosy befriended bloggers and lurkers out there)

After spending the whole night browsing through
You Tube's fridge related video's I have had it!
No really, I mean it.
I have seen it all!
You name it, I've seen it!
Kids, cats and even grown ups hiding in them!
I've seen other people sharing what's in their fridge.
I can see that every week if I want to.
But on video? Really!!
Anyway...

I even saw what happened to Lucy when she got stuck in the freezer.
And then I saw what happened to the hamburger and the fries
from Mc Donalds after more than ten weeks in a glass jar!
You would not want to know, would you?
All right, if you insist go watch that video,
but I'm not putting it on my blog!
Ewww, you know, seeing that made me think ...
It's not the mold that is the most disgusting,
but when even after ten weeks it still has none,
that's when you should worry!

Anyway, what I'm trying to say here
is that this will be our last Fridge Friday.
In case you're a new reader here, they are all here.
You'll understand better if you read them all!
I can't possibly do any better than I did last week.
Just in case you've missed that one, it's here.
It was hilarious, I know.
But that's the whole tragedy of it I think.
One should always know when to stop,
and it's better to do that on a high!
So as from next week I'll have to figure out something else.
It was fun while it lasted ...




**Grammy and I waving goodbye**
Bye!

Fridge Friday .... The Full Monty!

Okay, I promised you all the Full Monty.
But before we move on to that Monty stuff,
let's do a little bit of explaining, shall we?
I found the following explanation on the origin of that expression:

"It drives Brits nuts when people think ‘The Full Monty’ means stripping, because to a Brit it was a term used for decades and decades before as a catch phrase meaning to ‘go all the way;’ coined by General Montgomery’s cook as the military man always insisted on a full English breakfast before battle."

Breakfast ... fridge ... Okay, makes sense to me ...
Let's go ...




What?
Still not satisfied?
What did you say? It's not what you were looking for?
Well, at least it had a fridge?
Oh you want the REAL STUFF?
Okay, okay, here we go then ...
There ...




Still not right?
OK, let's try this then shall we?
(Click on the radio button to get the complete experience!
I have picked a different version of that same song)

I promised?
Whahahahahaha!

No milk today ...

Today is the official "no blog today" one day off of blog 365.
I even received an e mail telling me not to blog!
But I decided to go against the rules and blog anyway!
Being told NOT to do something awakens the rebel in me ...
So there, ... my protest song!

I have changed the lyrics a little bit to make it mine ...

( Does it show that I'm a child of the sixties?
I mean, rebelling, protest songs, climbing fences?)
Oh and that music of course, that's a give away!!!

Artist : Hermits Herman's
Title : No Milk Today
-----------------
No post today, my words have gone away  
The blogger's left alone, an e mail sent at dawn  
No post today, it's not a common sight  
But bloggers passing by don't know the reason why

How could they know just what this message means  
The end of your hopes, the end of all my dreams  
How could they know the stories there had been  
Behind the door where my fridge reigned as queen 
No post today, it wasn't always so  
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day 

But all that's left is a place mute and lonely 
A lonely blog in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two down ... ten left! 

No pictures today, it wasn't always so  
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day  
as 365 reigned the faster did we write  
We signed in all at once, the start of our romance 

How could they know just what this message means 
The end of your hopes, the end of all your dreams
How could you know the stories there had been
About the fridge where my love hides the food

No blogging today, my words have gone away  
The fridge stands all alone, an e mail sent at dawn

But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A lonely blog in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two down ... ten left! 

No feeds today, my reader has gone empty 
The blogroll stands for love, a symbol of good friends 
No posts today, it's not a common sight 
But people passing by don't know the reason why

How could they know just what this message means 
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams 
How could they know the stories there had been 
Behind the door where my fridge reigned as queen

No entry today, it wasn't always so  
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day

But all that's left is a place mute and lonely 
A lonely blog in a mean street back of town
Oh all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A lonely in a mean street back of town
Oh all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A lonely blog in a mean street back of town

Fridge Friday ... Magic fridge

Grammy sends you all of her love.
Unfortunately, she is feeling a little bit "stuffed" this week,
( my little sister is coming over )
so I have searched a colleague of hers to replace her!





There!
Maybe maybe come back?
Maybe next week?
Hehehehe!

Fridge Friday!!! The make over

How fast time flies huh, Friday again!
Where's the rest of the week gone to?
Fridge Friday, although I think I might be the only one this week?
Where is everybody?
Anyway, I was alone last night, and I had a long conversation with Grammy!
Grammy?
Yes! Grammy!
Oh yes, you've already met her I guess, but you didn't know her name?




Say hi to Grammy, because she's a very shy fridge you know!
She's a European fridge and that means she's very sensitive ...
oh, and just a teeny weeny bit old fashioned too!
Of course, at her age, she's allowed to be the kind of ... per.... fridge that she is!
She's done a terrific job! She has been with us for quite a number of years now.
And she's still not thinking of retirement, why would she?

She's just not up to that photoshooting business, she told me!
In fact it almost freezes her to think I would show her insides on the internet like that?
She's had some issues on that one before,
I don't think I'd want to scare her any more than I have to!
She complained that she looked very messy, so I gave her a good clean last night.
I know I know, it was Valentine's day but my husband had to work,
and what is a girl supposed to do on Valentine's night when she's all alone in the house?
Talk to the fridge, clean ... oh and blog of course!
Right!
Exiting huh?
Anyway ...
I have removed all of the expired stuff that was bothering her!
I even took a picture of it! Look ...

A note from the pharmacy telling me they are going to be closed
.... until the fifth of january!
Yikes!!!
Disgusting isn't it!
And a pizza hut coupon expired 3/12/07!!!
Gross! Yuck!

Anyway, I gave her a complete make-over!
She now looks like this, great huh?

Okay, okay, now you'll all want to know what is up there?
Take a closer look...


From left to right:
I love magnets, and I collect them, but using them on the fridge is not always such a great idea, as some of them tend to drop off and break sometimes!
So I'm mostly trying to use the unbreakable ones.
The red one with the cat has a cute quote: it says "Nine lives and I had to choose this one!"
The other one says " People who do not like cats were probably mice in their previous life!"
They were gifts by a friend of mine who takes care of my cat sometimes!
Since it was Valentine, I decided to put the Valentine cards up too.
The red card says "I love you so much", and the one next to it is the one my husband gave me.
And of course it has the same message!


Above the badge with Gram's name ( we changed it to Grammy later!)
is a sad little magnet that misses a piece, illustrating why I prefer to use unbreakable ones!
A little bag of basil seeds, to be sown when summer comes,
is a present from my Dutch blogging friend.
A garbage callendar, that's the red and green one.
This one has to stay up there for the rest of the year! Ewww!
Left of it is there's a drawing by my nephew, whose birthday it is today!
Forgot to send a birthday card again, I'm always late with them!
The cook's hat magnet is one his sister Paulien made for me. It's very unique, I love it!
The green ones are from the flower shop, reminding you to buy flowers on a Friday!
Flower Friday, oh I kind of like that!
Underneath the hand magnet it are some recipes I plan to make in the near future .
And the little furry bear on top I bought in Spain, he's cute!
It's not a bear, it's a lion actually but I didn't notice it when I bought it!
There! What do you think?
Any more questions?

Fridge Friday!!! Ain't she .... cute?

Okay, it's Friday, and on Fridays one is supposed to show the inside of his/her fridge!
I'm trying to give in to all of you, constantly begging to me to "please,
... please please open that fridge!"
But sadly, you haven't begged me enough yet, so this week you're only getting
this very old picture of my cat robbing the fridge!
It was more than a decade ago, unfortunately she's no longer with us...
She was our first and our favourite cat.

She was an exellent fridge burglar.
She opened it and stole whatever was inside that could tempt the delicate palate
of a Siamese Blue Point "cat"!



I caught her redhan ... no, this is not right.
Redfooted? Redpawed?
How should I describe this?
Anyway, this is my Fridge Friday for this week!
Cute huh?

Fridge Friday????

At ten o'clock in the morning I got this email today ...

A message from Geggie to all members of Fridge Friday on Blog 365!

Now, how's that for alliteration.

My fridge is up, how about yours? I'm hopping on a place in about an hour, but I'm hoping to spend some time cruising through your fridge friday photos later this afternoon.

Welcome to all of the new comers. There are also some members who haven't posted their friday yet. Come ON! Let's see whatcha got!

Let's see what I got?
Okay!
I did some shopping today and this is what I've got...


Now ... all of this ....
has to go IN HERE!
Impossible?

And those little pots of mustard up there have to go in as well!
I took them out because I didn't have enough space a few days ago ...


Now, how do you do that?
Okay, the fruits are in there...


And the vegetables go in there ...
I'll make soup later this afternoon with some of the vegetables in the white box, and that 'll give me plenty of space to store those carrots!
The eggs are in the door.

I use the blue baskets to store cream, cheese and some ham or smoked ham we eat on our bread. I check the dates, and put the oldest things on top, to be used first.

There! All of that is now in there ...
After all, I am a domestic godess right?
Right!

Whahahahaha!
You don't believe me?
You're gonna have to!
Europeans do not open their refrigerators in front of total strangers!!
I have already told you, didn't I?
How do you expect me to throw this on the internet just like that?
Huh?
Be real!!!
Oh and euhm ... next time
Maybe next time ...
If you all beg me????
And I mean BEG me?


We'll see ...

Whahahaha!

Fridge Friday!!!!!!!!! Tell me I'm dreaming, this is not happening!!!!

OMG!!!!
OK, I think we are ready for those men in white coats now!
I warned her this would happen, I did!
But at that time I would never have thought I would be in on it too!
I keep getting comments like OMG!!! This is so European!
Now let me tell you, this is soooooooooooo American, Australian ... I don't know I don't want to discriminate anyone but this is sooooo NOT European!
The contents of someone's refrigerator is almost as holy as the master bedroom!
Family members only!
Unless you grow mushrooms inside of them and you are featured in some kind of reality television " how clean is your house" Kim and Aggie program, you do not open your refrigerator in front of total strangers!
We have elephants with all the bare necessities, oh yes, we do!
Sooooooo European Korie commented!
Now how do you all expect me to show off my refrigerator to the whole Blogosphere world?
Come on, be real!!!
This is worse than stripping! Whhahaha, what am I saying, I never did that!!
Well, not in front of strangers anyway, but never mind!
What the hell am I doing?
They call me crazy as it is?




Okay, here it is! (Click on the radio button!)

Whahahahaa!

Maybe maybe come back? Maybe next week?
Can't get no satisfaction!!!!!!!!!
