Urban Appliance: My Fridge Wishes to Blog



Type of fridge:LG Household
Settings: 38º F.
Condition: Slightly soiled.

Contents:
Top Shelf
1 jar Kalustyan's Chilli Pickle, 1 jar Grey Poupon Mustard, 1 jar Wos-Wit Chow-Chow: etc
Mid Shelf
Bag o' beet greens, half onion, left-over buffalo chili, blue berries, small haunch of rabbit.
Bottom Shelf
Left over golden beets in cilantro vinaigrette, Sabra hummus, 1 jar harrisa.
Door.
Orange juice. Two weeks past its sell-by date. Shouldn't matter, acid in orange juice will retard bacteria growth, but slight fermentation in evidence. Would pass as acceptable pruno in mid-security prison, or elite boarding school. (Here's a recipe for Pruno. I wouldn't make it if I were you. If you make it, don't drink it).
Vegtable bins
Left. sprightly. crisp. Not too humid. Radishes keep their color and shape. Cucumbers are firm, dark green, and cool. Right: Poor. Slight mold on onion. NE corner verges on compost. Decay everywhere.

Butterflies in Battery Park!!

Battery Park is filled with these monarch butterflies painted on beige umbrellas.  What I wonder about is where they got all those beige umbrellas--makes me think that there must be a LOT of wet Canadians (I mean who else is using beige umbrellas.) They probably own a lot of tan galoshes too. Perhaps someone will paint them as snails.

But Battery Park looks great--rows and rows of giant butterflies receding off into the distance.  It does emphasize the fact that New York City parks are becoming almost Parisian: the grass is something which the public does not get to stand on.  Just as well.  Too many ticks, boogers, snails and earwigs.
