Does anyone else go on hunting expeditions for expired products in their fridge? Nah, probably not, probably you guys are super organized and use the stuff up before that stamped date of doom. I used to be organized like that too.

Well, I’m still kinda organized like that. What usually goes wrong now is I get derailed from cooking for one reason or another so those ingredients get shifted to a few days later and one thing leads to another and before you know it there’s three pints of cream in the garage fridge, two from July and one from early September.

July?! Seriously??? I can’t explain it, man.

I’m inspired by those TikTok cooking videos that show glimpses of highly organized refrigerators. I can only aspire to gleaming shelves filled with helpful things, in a logical order, that get used before they turn brown or slimy. You know, like grownups do…


This week’s prompt is “inspire/aspire/expire.” Use them in any form you like. Use one, use two or use them all if you want. If you use two, you get bonus points! If you use all three, Cheryl will put your next drink on David’s tab. Enjoy!
