Fr-fr-fridge Changes!
Re-evaluated fridge space = important & perishable stuff on top shelf. If it's visible, I'll eat it first. #food 
I Tweeted this today. I've gradually seen that I react more positively to beautiful things. This is not rocket science, all humans like to look at beautiful things. So, why wasn't my fridge a beautiful thing? Why wasn't I happy cooking in my kitchen?
It wasn't pretty. The food itself doesn't have anything to do with it - I like cooking and eating it. I just wasn't doing a lot of it in my tiny kitchen.
I love buying food. Because the food is displayed really nicely. You can see the food really well, it's well-lit, it smells good, it's a variety of colors. It's stimulating! My fridge and cabinets? Not so much. The dark brown color of my cabinets makes me feel like I'm reaching into the darkest abyss when I'm reaching for the honey. And the shelves of my fridge started looking barer and barer. But they weren't, and I would forget the boutinful veggies I had bought earlier that week, letting them perish.
Now, I'm not only not eating the beautifully nutritious food, but I'm throwing away money! That made me take more notice - I live in a consumer society based on capitalism and as an American, I hate throwing away money!
So if you see the link to my photo above, you'll see my fridge looks a little different than previous (not that you might have seen my fridge previously). I'm not even using my drawer! Why would my drawer come in handy keeping veggies more fresh, if I forget about them after a few days and then I end up in Berkeley at my boyfriend's place for a couple of nights, only to come back to a fridge full of perished goods?
It's a small and inevitable change that just stepped me that much closer to a more healthy lifestyle and a veggie-filled, home-cooked diet. And I'm happy about it.
