Now I hate pickles!

August 16th, 2012 at 07:11 am

After cleaning up the fridge I was about to be done, when I knocked over a container of pickles, filled to the top with pickles and brine! It was one of those plastic ones (not the ones you fill yourself, it came sealed in one, and it had a strange lid and it did not stay on well).

Pickle juice went everywhere and there was a puddle of it on the bottom.
There was like a liter of that stuff all over the fridge! And, of course, it smells.

So after I was done I had to start all over again, using up a roll of Bounty and almost entire container of Clorox wipes, and most importantly my time until 2 am. I had to clorox few times every surface and nook, disassemble every part, take out every drawer and wash it with dishwasher liquid in the sink, dry it...

I had to toss organic veggies from the lower drawers -- otherwise the smell would have remained.

Now I am exhausted and behind schedule on other cleaning I was going to do since I don't have the baby tonight.

No rest.

My fridge now:

    oh yuck. What a mess. It reminds me of when I dropped the olive oil.

    Why is it the pickles always seem to fall over? I have had that happen to me too.

    Ugh! On a related note, I asked a woman to move her bags so I could sit on the bus today, and quickly realized the seat was damp. At first I thought it was condensation from a refrigerated item, but then I realized it smelled kind of vinegary. Some kind of pickle-ish liquid had seeped out of her bag and gotten on my pants and my fingers. Gross!

    I love dill pickles, but I HATE the smell of pickle juice... especially when it leads to some sort of permeating nasty scent on clothing or in a house. OR on my hands. And sweet pickles are even worse, at least to my nose. Do you have the insurance of some of those Febreeze things? I like to carry them with me in my messenger bag, or at least some scented antiseptic wipes.
