This is my fridge. It's my fridge because it has my mushrooms in it. It also has my co-worker's yogurt and the bottles of water that my eco-unfriendly employer insists I order twice a month from Staples. But at 4:31 on Friday, March 18, 2011, it won't be my fridge anymore.

Family photos, Jersey Shore style. First, us engaged, then 2 years later with our 1 year old, with him at 2, then again at 3 with a new brother.
At age 15, one does this kind of stuff: it made feel tough and cool, and I thought mixed dogs would look tougher and cooler if they had their tails cut off. So that is what I was up to when my small dog, a tai-lless mix of terrier, hotdog and puddle, had puppies from a huge doberman. I even helped the vet in the process of cutting the … Read more »

After taking this photo, I realized that you can really learn a lot about my life from my fridge. Everything I cherish is displayed right in the heart of my kitchen. This isn't a surprise to me. Whether it's conversations at the table with my boyfriend, doing homework with my son or cooking homemade vegetarian meals for the three of us, we spend most of our time in the kitchen … Read more »

Late afternoon sunlight, blazing with Sonoran Desert heat, slips through the slits in the Venetian blinds and ricochets off the refrigerator door, creating a slashing shadow pattern. But the high contrast dance of sunbeams and dark stripes is disrupted when I shuffle into the kitchen, open the refrigerator door and grab an ice-cold bottle of water. I close the door and the interplay between light and shadow resumes, until later … Read more »

My refrigerator is a rotating photo gallery of people I love. Many people spend time in my kitchen and check to see what is new. We started an experiment early in 2010 to see if the statement at the top left corner of the photo are true. Yes they are! The statement in case you can't see it: Positive behavior change comes with making right choices over a period of … Read more »
My story is about magnetic fruits. i used to wonder if my mom was fine upstairs. why would anyone place delicious, fake fruits on the fridge door? that is the question that i asked myself now and then. she would not answer me when I put the question to her (asked her). it was not only at home. i still want to munch them. it is a pity that my … Read more »
The heat in my uni halls is ridiculous. It’s like the Sahara desert in there. The Americans I live with keep moaning about the lack of fucking A.C – which I found out means air-conditioning.

Although I do use the side of my stainless steel Kenmore behemoth to post saved prayer cards of dead relatives, the ubiquitous grocery lists, scraps of napkins with the names of decent wines I've tasted scribbled down, an invitation to my thirty-fifth high school reunion, a Howard Zinn bumper sticker, and a few pictures of a younger me, thirty pounds lighter and more apt to be smiling, the addition to … Read more »

Vanilla cream with chocolate frosting... did Raul mean me, or was it one of those 
We've had a "fridge as bulletin board" since the kids were little. We've moved from pre-school paintings to after school sports calendars to prom pictures.

I spend many hours mindfully washing dishes, with my hands in the warm water, I can turn my head and gaze to the side of my noisy old fridge. The side of my fridge is a small gallery into my past, spending time with my dear friend, Crazy Eileen. The photos are over thirty years old now, one was a moment captured on the beach as we knocked … Read more »

...who thought this was about the INSIDE of the refrigerator!

Refrigerators, like photographs, are about making things last as long as possible. They’re about taking things with short shelf-lives, like milk or memories, and preserving them beyond their natural spans.

By danainthe904 3 years ago
It started with a couple of pictures on the top part of my fridge. Images of family members that mean a lot to me. Ten years later, I have a mosaic and true representation of how much I love my life and how important my friends and family are to me. I find myself gravitating towards the fridge door when I'm feeling a little lonely. I go there when I … Read more »
