OK - here is a weird poll with a short story to preceed it. My sister was over this afternoon and she was looking in my fridge for something to eat. She was shocked at the things we had and to me they are staples that I get every week. She doesn't cook much and when she does it is pretty much the basic grilled chicken and rice a roni (which I love BTW).
So, I was wondering what "different" things your family has to have. Here are ours:
Hummus
Goat Cheese
Avocados
Poblano and Jalapeno Peppers
Capers
Buttermilk (I make my own salad dressings)
Blue and Feta Cheeses
Different kinds of olives from the olive bar
Homemade roasted red peppers
Chick peas (we literally go through 2 - 3 cans a week)
At least three or four kinds of fresh fruit (star, kiwi, bananas, mangos, blueberries)
I think back to my mom's fridge when we were little and she never had any of these things. I don't know if its because she didn't like them or they just weren't available.
So, what's in your fridge?
