Fridgin’ Out: BF Mama Fridge
Recently, I house-sat for my boyfriend’s mom. While staying there I set up a small challenge for myself to only eat what was stocked in that kitchen. I found lunch to be the most difficult meal of the day as most food in the house needed to be cooked or prepared in someway. I did […]

Fridgin’ Out: Garden Delights
Went over to Chuchoter‘s place in Oakland the other night- she and her husband Tom have been super hustling with work and so I don’t get to see them much these days. But I was in the area and when I called her, she mentioned going out to the famous Fenton’s for ice cream, so […]

Fridgin’ Out: Liquor Cabinet Edition
Consider it a testament to Kayoko’s power of persuasion that I’m doing a Fridgin’ Out post. You wouldn’t otherwise know this, but for some time now I’ve been averse to the idea. The notion that strangers would open their refrigerators so other strangers can peer into them for no purpose beyond plain curiosity is a […]

Fridgin’ Out: Get Money, Get Paid
I’ve been saving this video by Mr. Chi-City that was featured on Today’s Big Thing back in October, for a day that just needs some extra laughs. Today is that day. This video (titled “Keeping your refrigerator stocked will get you many women”) is so obscenely funny that I just could not pass it up […]

Fridgin’ Out: Tokyo Bachelor Style = EXPIRED
A single Japanese male rarely eats at home. He works all day, and drinks all night. The uncommon instances he eats at home usually falls somewhere within the 18th and 24th of the month (pay day in Japan for salaried workers is on the 24th or 25th), when he breaks into the emergency stash of […]

Fridgin’ Out: My Cold Box of Secrets
When I first got my own apartment in Tokyo, I could barely cover the moving expenses with my measly wage and couldn’t even afford a fridge. Luckily, it was mid-winter and I was able to make an impromptu fridge out on my balcony. Just in time for spring, I became a proud owner of this […]

Fridgin’ Out: Astoria, QNZ
Hey everyone, sorry it’s been so long since I last posted. Here’s my fridge door, replete with post-its, film schedules, receipts, etc. Our fridge isn’t as impressively stocked as Ricky’s from last week (also in Queens), but what can I say? I like to keep it understocked, at least with fresh stuff, because that way […]
