Five in the fridge.
I saw this at Keera's a little bit ago and had nothing to post about today so here goes thought it would be fun. You do it too! No? Fine, I'll tag you then. Not here, at the end. You'll just have to wait and wonder and worry. Hah. No skipping down. ~glare~
Alrighty then . . .
1. A klutzy bottle of Hershey's syrup trying to be a ballerina. It's a good thing I saw this so I could rearrange everything neatly with their labels facing out. What? No, silly, not in alphabetical order! I'm not NUTS.
2. A nest of lemons. I bought a bag of them last week so my daughter could get one teaspoon of grated lemon peel for a coffee cake she wanted to bake. They're cheap, so I wasn't too worried about the rest going to waste. However! I have now found this faboo recipe for lemon bread from Eden's shared items that we'll make.
3. A bag of nummy coconut. I have no idea when I bought this, or why, but it's here, and I think we should put it in the lemon bread! It'll be good. YES, IT WILL.
4. Two opened jars of pesto from before the last ice age. I guess I'll throw them out. Sad. And what idiot opened the second jar before they finished the first?? Oh, right. That was me. Hee.
5. Worcestershire sauce. What the hell is this stuff? Why is it here? And frankly I don't even know how to say it. I'm pretty sure it's not "wor - cest - er - shy - er." Is it "worst?" "Wooster?" Maybe Nat knows. I think there's one in Massachusetts.
So there you have it. Mah fridge. It's neater now. Tag-time!
Nat (might as well cuz I already dragged her into this).
Eden (same).
Teacake (when she's feeling better).
Arleen (haven't tagged her in ages).
Towse (she always has interesting foodses).
You don't have to take pics. :)

22 take the cake:
I'll do it when I'm camera-motivated.
Worcestershire sauce isn't the same as the one in Massachusetts. The latter is "Woostah."
Lemons take ages and ages to go bad and IMO you can use a little lemon in pretty much anything.
I guess having as many as five things in the fridge is a married-person thing, or something.
Worcestershire sauce isn't the same as the one in Massachusetts. The latter is "Woostah."
And so the sauce's name is "Woostah-shur".
It's not even "Woo-ster," really. It's more like "Wuss-tah" (if wuss rhymes with puss) if you're from the area. Bostonian people say "Wuss-ter." Go figure. They drop the "r" on so many words.
I am the daughter of Hoosiers, who pronounce everything "funny," so I grew up saying "Wuss-ta-schur".
That is all. And now you are making me take FRIDGE PICS? Ahhhheewwww. I'll be brave.
I say "wer-ster-sher" and I also say it does NOT belong in the FRIDGE.
It's pronounced wus-ta-sheer (I have distant relatives that hail from Worcester) so there. :P
I love the idea of a nest of lemons.
I'm with don, too, since I don't think it needs to be fridged.
Baby, do you have a little dorm room 'fridge? Or is it just the angle?
I say Wooster. It's good in stews and casseroles.
It's not even "Woo-ster," really. It's more like "Wuss-tah"
Yes. When I said Woostah I meant oo as in book, not food.
Our fridge was b-a-r-e this time ysterday. Now we have some food so I'm totally doing this :)
Oh and I do the pronunciation that Solomon Broad gave you: WUH-stah-sheer or WUS-ta-sheer.
Hey, I pronounce it like Don, too. But we keep it in the fridge.
Ok, thanks teacake, I can hear that now!
ANd it's cold in Worcester today. BRRRR.
Jodie, it's a full-size fridge. I guess my first photo looks a little weird!
I needs me a nest of lemons!
Lea & Perrins Wrcstrshr sauce! I haven't seen that for YEARS!
Yummy!
(If you disemvowel it and THEN try to pronounce it, you end up with something a lot closer to the 'correct' pronunciation, or at least the correct pronunciation from a drunk person.)
I just call it call it L and P! But Worcestershire sauce by any other name would still taste as sweet.
I call it something like "Worst-er-chest-er-sir-shire-sir Sauce," adding as many ridiculous syllables as possible. If I can work a K or a Q into it, I know I'm onto something.
I LOVE the word "disemvowel," BTW.
I would like to say I made up the word disemvowel, but since I didn't, I won't. I stole it from another blog, where disemvoweling is the punishment meted out to really, really annoying commenters who haven't gone far enough to be banned altogether.
Done! while allz you all were arguing about how to say wuss tah sheer sauce. (And I don't keep it in the fridge either.)
I do sometimes mix ground beef with Worcestershire sauce and chopped onion and a bit of horse radish and shape it up into tasty hamburgers so, yes, I do have it on the shelf. When I don't use Worcestershire sauce, I substitute balsamic vinegar. Either way. Ym.
Super Bowl party at Sal's!!!
