We don’t have a smartphone now and both our tablets have bad camera, we don’t even try… But I don’t like phone cameras as they aren’t good for macro photography and I care too little about food pics… They are better for that though, HUGE depth… I can’t do that with the camera. And it’s fine, I like food pics with a small one, I just lacks to skill to pull it off 
I don’t want a separate freezer but I will think about it as I can’t get what I want anyway. I looked at my fridge… 5 shelves, 1 can hold a pot, 1 can hold our tall pressure cooker… They must go there as they often contain our cooked food. And we have 4 door shelves and we need them all. Butter and garlic on top, jars and smaller sour cream containers next, then 2 rows of jars of vegs and fruit and milk. We already run out of space when we bought 4 liters of milk, okay, that is very rare but one of my 2 favs was on a good sale and we have a very milky phase… But one shelf must be sacrificed for the big veggie box. Now, between the bottom door shelf and some part of the fridge, its size is seriously reduced. Newer fridges don’t have either problems so the box is almost thrice as big
But we don’t have those insanely big American (or what) door shelves, ours are tiny. And not sturdy enough, they die first but as I need them, I managed to fix them somehow.
But I worried about fridges enough this week, I will revisit the idea later. Maybe when I will be in a proper store, photos don’t help enough. I bring my measuring tape too.
It took me some years but yep, I am almost done. I still have grapeseed flour
It’s awful, gritty and tastes bad according to Alvaro, it reminds him of wine-mash (I googled the word, never met it before). He can eat anything in bread but in this case the amount is too tiny so it would take 10 years… I can eat it in bigger amounts in biscuits but well, if I eat off, I rather use walnuts, that is tasty
Maybe one day I get brave and throw it out. It’s not good, after all. I just have VERY, very serious mental barriers against food waste. I just never do it, no matter what. But this isn’t really food…
We love pickles though
They are low-carb enough even for me even if I obviously don’t often eat them, it may not be apparent but I do try to eat carnivore. And fail, yes but if I add vegs, I can’t eat my rich, salty food without. And it’s not a very realistic scenario when I have eggs
And I typically have them. But pickles are very innocent in my eyes and Alvaro eats them up anyway. We never have much.
We have hungreds of jars of fruit (and some vegs and forest mushrooms) all the time though. Last year was super bad for fruit, it’s spring and we still have so, so much… But they last long so it’s fine as long as I don’t run out of cupboard tops to store them. And fridge top. I am so glad Alvaro eats fruit all the time as I love my fruit garden but could’t make a dent in the produce if I wanted. But I am glad he doesn’t eat overly much fructose as that isn’t healthy… Sadly, he buys very much fruit but jarred stuff can’t replace fresh stuff and we lack certain important kinds due to various reasons.
Erm sorry. It’s very hard for me not to talk about fruits when the topic gets close to that.
Our have some level of chaos but basically it’s pretty good, every shelves have their dedicated role. A vague one, hence the chaos and there are items without a place so those just go wherever they can. But I have a cheese shelf
With other roles as it’s the shortest one and good for plates too. As we have too much cheese after shopping, some goes in the veggie box as I already wrote, along with the unopened smoked pork and other processed meat products. If the latter ones are opened, they go to the cheese shelf. The the sizes pretty much dictates what goes where. And the door shelves are very much organized. I am quite fine with the normal fridge part but the freezer is a chaos, I do what I can but it’s just 2 small shelves, I can’t organize that much. As I can buy meat locally, the size isn’t that big of a problem anymore but 3 shelves still would make things much better.
Thanks, now I am looking into separate freezers and fridges! I didn’t want that but now I can see I can get whatever I want from both world and IDK about the energy usage yet… The freezers use almost as much as a whole combined fridge/freezer…
I did find some perfect size only fridges with a cute energy usage… And they are almost always greatly structured for me. Sometimes I can’t be as free with the shelves as I can be but I can make it work even in that cases, I just can’t put the bigger pots on the lowest shelf. But if I can, I want total freedom and choose which shelf is tall…
I am very deep in it now but poor fridge is really in a bad shape already and I am so looking forward to a big bottom box and a bigger freezer since ages… And I have found a ton of rust underneath lately too… We really should get over this hurdle soon.
I still have turkey for today and got out a pork chuck slab from the freezer. I used up my lard yesterday and it’s not good. Chuck provides little but it’s enough for now. I will fry up the fattiest part in small cubes to get maximum amount of lard. Then I better find some 30% fat pork in the supermarket but in the worst case, it will be pork shoulder…
