Sometimes You Just Gotta Go With It

(our overflow fridge in the laundry room)

Have you ever found defrosting chicken in a puddle of could-be-salmonella-y juice on the fridge shelf?  Then you have to tear everything apart and clean it, drips and all, before it gets dried and crusty and passes the could-be germs on to other food packages.  Even though all you wanted to do was start your crock pot and go along with your day.

Then have you ever started cleaning that one shelf in the fridge and just kept going and going and going?  Until the whole fridge was empty and your counters had glass shelves and drawers piled high?

Yeah, me neither.  I clean my fridge, um, (*cough*) all the time.
