We had new friends over recently for supper and as we were cleaning up she commented, "you're an organized person, aren't you." And I replied that you have to be in a small house but that yes, I love organization and especially eliminating clutter and that I get a high from taking loads to good will. She listened to my little monologue politely and then said, "because I've never seen anyone label their refrigerator shelves before."
I don't think I would have ever thought this odd until she verbally made her observation. And as we looked in my fridge together, gazing at the dairy on the top shelf, meat and bread on the second shelf, produce on the third, and the drinks and eggs on the bottom shelf, I realized that this probably is a very unique part of who I am.
But I've got to tell you. It is really handy. And I'll give you an extra insight. The bottom drawer is filled with water bottles and gardening seeds. And the crisper drawer is filled with our leftovers. Because I have found that drawers in a fridge are dangerous. They are like two black holes of wasted space to me. I have had too many things go bad in a fridge drawer only to find a smell before the food and always feel disappointed thinking I forgot I even bought asparagus. But Rory and I know to dig for left overs. So it works for us.So...all of you out there. Anyone else label the shelves in your refrigerator?

my gramma does this...and she labels everything in it as well...masking tape and black sharpie markers...I thought she was the only one :) you and her would get along well I think :) cute :)
Hooray for your grandma!!! She probably has very few outbreaks of e coli in her home. :)
Well, I don't lable my shelves, but I do organize things by shelves (just without the lables). And when I was living with three other girls, we all marked our food with colored duct tape to know whose food is whose.
Great idea Becca!
