I finally made kabocha last night! I was out-of-town for a couple weeks and was overloaded on veggies so it was bumped to when I returned as it kept well. I don't have any pictures and only roasted it, but it was really good. I've only seen it at the Asian grocer but would definitely buy it again.2

Plant based ftw.
The stems of broccoli are my favorite part! So tender and mild!1 -

No 🌹 in mine, but they look so pretty, don’t they?0

Yes, it’s always this messy, and yes, I’m always this bad at taking pictures.
But fridge is full of good things! Prepared salad for when I come in tired and Hangry!
Bagels, blueberries, usually pineapple but I ate it all, lettuce, a potato and some chicken I made double when I baked last night.celery, bag of broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. some fruit cups and cottage cheese.
Not as much produce as some, but I’m set!1 -

OK, I'll play, but it's not really fair because . . . .
. . . I hide a bunch of good things down in the basement, in here:
Refrigerator: Lemon cucumbers, celeriac, romaine, kale, cabbage, pickles, raw sauerkraut, cremini mushrooms (yah, should be in paper), oyster mushrooms in there somewhere (in paper
), onions (I know, I know), lemon wedges, roasted eggplant, fresh brown fig, blueberries and green bell pepper (that I remember).
Chest freezer: Lentils, black beans, winter squash, giant bags of basic veg (green peas, corn, cubed root veggies), giant bags of mixed berries and sweet cherries, some frozen avocado mash.
Counter: Apples, cherry tomatoes.
And there's still a pantry closet, the fridge freezer, and some nice bushy fresh perennial herbs growing out back.
Overkill!3 -

Those strawberries look so pretty they would fit in the original picture. Also look so good if I came home tired and saw those, I would definitely reach for them instead of candy or chips. Good diet trick.0

You're not the only single person. Some of us are just . . . acquisitive? aspirational?
Since I posted, I found a stray cousa squash in mine, and a small green kohlrabi. They hide - ideally not tooooo long. 1 -

I’ve always loved the ‘bones’ of romaine...
I don’t usually buy romaine, but if someone else is prepping and cuts them out, I’ll eat them faster than they cut ‘em2 -

The veggies, fruit and cheese are hidden in drawers but you can see we love portion control ha5 -
But my freezer paints another obsession3 -

We got back from a one week vacation this morning, so there is nothing in the fridge.

I would post a picture of my freezer but there is nothing to see there. Everything is packed in Whole Foods paper bags for veggies, raw meat, cooked meats / seafood, desserts, raw seafood, fruit. Those fit perfectly into my chest freezer. I have a running count of everything that goes in and out of there on top of the freezer using a marker and easy wipe board.
Are you left handed?0 -
The fava shoots survived a week without water while we were out of town. Enough for a side tonight.

The first house I bought many years ago was like that! For a reason unknown to me, the previous owners had their full height fridge built in at the right hand end of a run of units, next to the wall. It opened to the left...drove me insane as the interior light bulb had gone and the door blocked the room light! Total pain, especially at night!
Took me the best part of a year to afford to sort it out! 😂1 -

You aren't. Mine opens to the left, I just didn't include it in the photo. The door has a bunch of condiments, seeds, ingredient-stuff like misos, and beer. And I'm right-handed.
I had to have the door switched to left-side hinge when the (new this summer) fridge was delivered. I have a one-big-room kitchen and dining room (1953 ranch-style house, bizarrely raised to 2nd-floor level by house mover, to put a basement where the crawl space used to be - SMH!). Rest of the kitchen is to the right of the fridge, dining area to the left. It would be extremely annoying to have the door hinged on the right.1 -

Oh man—- just in time for sharing of the produce lover’s fridge photos- mine stopped working. Living out of a cooler until we get a new one.
Only lasted 5 years. My Mom had
to remind me when I was a kid (late 80s) our simple refrigerator was older than I was and lasted a good 30 years.
Love the produce photos 💕 🥬 hopefully I can go produce binge soon!

Okay, so here's why I hardly ever post photos of my food: It's brown, always brown, so brown! (Not photogenic.)
Top is sauteed Cremini ("Baby Bella" <eye roll>) mushrooms, cousa squash, tofu noodles, and a barley miso sauce. Bottom is cabbage slices, veryVery roasted, with dark crispy bits, the way I like it. I added a splash of white balsamic vinegar and some coarse sea salt before I ate it. While cooking, I ate some cherry tomatoes my friend grew, and had some plain fresh red raspberries for dessert. I might slice up some lemon cucumber later, too, if I feel like it.
Last night's food maybe looks better, although it's a little odd in a different way (but notice it still features a good bit of brown stuff ):
That would be a romaine lettuce wrap, in which there is one of those cauliflower sandwich thins that's supposed to be a gluten-free bread substitute (but being used here as sort of a thin veggie patty for flavor & extra protein (odd)), some slices of roasted skin-on eggplant (the brown stuff you can see), sliced onion, smoked tofu, mozzarella cheese from a local cheesemaker via farmers market, and I think I may've put some dill mustard on it (but I forgot to log it). Obvious cherry tomatoes and lemon cucumber (latter sprinkled with herb salt) on the side.
