What’s in YOUR fridge? BEST winner. Part 1 of 5
I’ve seen my share of bachelor refrigerators, having been single for 5 years this August. It’s a sad state of affairs. I figure there are some fridges that are in desperate need of help.
His = Bad…………….Hers = Good
But you know what the funniest part of hours of reviewing fridge photos and accompanying stories that readers sent me? Every fridge that had crappy stuff in it, she said, “THAT’S MY HUSBAND’S STUFF!” (I’m not kidding. Every single one blamed her husband.)
One reader, McKenna, sent a list of her fridge contents, in a fabulous little well-organized table, showing “GREAT STUFF (HERS)” and “BAD STUFF (HIS).” She had about 25 items on her list, lovely green, red, orange, yellow whole-food items. And he had two. Steaks, and beer. She said, “As you can tell, I’m winning the war.” No doubt. The poor guy is relegated to a tiny side corner of the family icebox.
Here’s the BEST fridge photo I received that earned its owner a $99 12 Steps to Whole Foods manual. It’s not just gorgeous and organized; it’s also just fun to READ the contents. Shows how ambitious GSG reader Benadette Astrella from San Jose, CA, is. You can tell she has fun with food!
She healed her new husband Rocco from Type II diabetes with a plant-based diet. (I met him at my class in San Jose last month, and he’s a believer! He told me what his wife had done for him, and I said, “Go get her! I want to meet this woman!”)
