Gross, Grosser, and Most Grossest

Just cleaned out Grandma's fridge. Much grossness. I have decided the winner was the Bacon Ranch dressing, because a.) when I tried it a couple weeks ago, it made me gag, b.) it was 7 years old, and c.) the smell of it going down the sink made me gag again. Double gag factor won over the 5-year-old mayo, the 12-year-old horseradish sauce (which was hard) and the four bottles of unknown content and origin.

Also cleaned out the cabinets for take out containers, trash, and more take out containers, and then more trash. I don't remember her ever being one of those post-depression, wash-the-foil-and-use-it-again sorts, but she seems to have a fear of throwing things away.

  1. In more good news, her refrigerator was gross BEFORE we knew she had Alzheimer's. I guess that's not good news...but hey, petrified horseradish. Bet you could have stenciled Jesus' face on it and auctioned it off on eBay for a million dollars.

  2. Oh I'm sure there's a sculpture of some sort, lurking in the back. There's certainly an originless odor in there.

  3. Yes, we grew up with a mom who washed plastic bags. They hung all over the cabinets.

    If you find a picture of the Virgin Mary, I get half the proceeds...
