When I run across an article about children or pets being removed
from an “unsuitable” home, I find it’s almost always accompanied by a disgusting
photo of the inside of the refrigerator. Maybe the interior of the fridge is an
indicator – like a canary in a coal mine – of how well the householder is or
isn’t doing. Pictures like this always leave me with an irresistible urge to clean out my
own fridge. November fifteen is Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day. Some years it
falls about a week before Thanksgiving, and some (like this year) it’s a bit
more. It’s an excellent time to remember to remove everything, wipe the walls,
drawers and shelves, and then only put back what you KNOW is safe to eat. Stick
a fresh box of baking soda in the back, just for good measure. Voilà! You’re
ready for whatever the holidays can throw at you. Or at least your fridge is.
