There are five different mustards in the fridge.

Each a different variety. Only one seems to have seen any real use.

There are two jars of horseradish. Neither one seems to have been much touched. Why anybody, ever, would feel the need to have two identical jars of horseradish, I just don't know.

There are, as I said, four half-gallons of various types of milk - soy, lactose free, whatever. We drank all the chocolate soymilk already. There is also a half-gallon of half and half. Who the fuck buys a whole half gallon of half and half?

There were three LARGE containers of raspberries on Saturday, all untouched. The same with the LARGE bunch of bananas. These things go bad fast!

There were, of course, the two full bags of avocadoes. And the three packages of tomatoes.

I requested a single small eggplant. I got six. (I knew I should've gone to the store too.)

I asked for three, maybe four potatoes. I got three BAGS, five pounds each. How can you use up fifteen pounds of potatoes? (Guess what I'm having as a side to all our lunches this week?)

No garlic, though. How this man lives, I don't know. NO GARLIC.

Don't ask me how much wine there is. A new bottle of sparkling water and/or Gatorade is bought every day. They do not drink a new bottle every day.

I resolve to go home and immediately clean our fridge. It's been bad in the past, but... not as bad as this. (Then again, ours is more bad because when food turns, we don't feel like dealing with it. My uncle deals with the food before it has a chance to go bad. All that food, in the garbage, because it's almost at its sell-by date. I feel sick just contemplating it.)

Where do you FIND half-gallons of half&half? The largest container I can find is a quart, which only lasts us four days or so.

The store, I imagine.

I've only ever seen it at my local Sams (where I abuse my mother's membership as often as possible, despite my dislike of the company as a whole), and even then it's not guaranteed.
