I have an important recommendation for those of you who may be leaving for a week or so on vacation: be sure the fridge door is fully closed. Regrettably, I somehow managed to skip this important step during my recent two weeks in Maine.
It would alone have been a disaster if the food in the fridge hung around at room temperature for a couple weeks with the fridge constantly running, but OUR fridge has no less than 3 of those little 40 watt bulbs in it. You gals who had Easy Bake ovens as kids know where this is going - all that food slow cooked.
On the bright side, the fridge was due for a good cleaning, and boy, is it easy to clean an empty fridge! It looked so good when we were done, I didn't want to spoil things by putting new foodstuffs in. And therein lay another bright spot - when we were done restocking, it was still quite empty.
Some sort of clutter poltergeist must visit my fridge at night and plant all the other stuff I'm apparently not missing.
