Excuse me, you left the door open…
It’s a large refrigerator and almost 15 years old…note the duct tape on the door. What you don’t see is two produce drawers…one has bags of baby spinach and arugala and two giant fresh artichokes. The other has potatoes for a potato au gratin and a bag of trail mix that I mix myself from cashews, almonds, dried mixed berries and chocolate chips.
There are a wide range of jams, pickles, butters, and mustards on the shelf behind the cherries, strawberries, and yogurt. The yogurt just came out of its maker and later I’ll drain it and put it in a jar.
The OJ, milk and 1/2 n 1/2 in the door are all local products delivered by LW Dairy…yes, that’s right, I have a milkman, aren’t you jealous! Every week I get 4 bottle of milk and 7 bottles of OJ (the boys drink it by the quart jar), and 3 cartons of 1/2 n 1/2. We use the milk to make yogurt and a variety of espresso drinks, and hot chocolate.
Today’s recipe is for the Red Zinger tea you see in the door. I make it from a recipe given to me by my neighbor Ann, but we store it in one of the milk bottles.
Red Zinger Tea
5 bags of Celestial Seasonings Red Zinger Tea
1 cup boiling water
1/4 cup of sugar
1 bottle extra ginger Ginger Beer
water and ice
Steep the teabags in the water for 8 – 10 minutes. Remove bags, add the sugar and stir to dissolve. Add ice and stir until it melts. Pour into the container you’ll store it in. Add the ginger beer and top the container off with cold water. Enjoy!
What’s in your refrigerator? Post a list in the comments section or send me a picture and I’ll post it.
I’ll be away from my computer on Monday and maybe Tuesday but I’ll be back and I’ll hope to have some interesting pictures…it’s a field trip of sorts.

I loved red zinger when we lived in the U.S. – no Celestial Seasonings here!
We don’t have a milkman…but we do have a bread truck that delivers 3 times a week – fresh from the bakery….this is France, after all, must have a fresh baguette with every meal…
I nearly opened my fridge up for the world to see, then something a bit unpleasant happened to it. I must post about that sometime soon.
I got hooked on Red Zinger tea during the month I was in Durham, NC back 20+ years ago and haven’t really liked it since. I think I could like it again with this recipe!
O.k..Mine is up on my site…now I am motivated to clean the thing out. Thanks..I think
Umm I didn’t see a link to the website..Apronstrngs and simmering things…http://apronstringsandsimmeringthings.blogspot.com/
katiez, I envy your fresh baquettes.
ros, come on..I bet it’s a good story!
Paula, I’m not a hot tea drinker but I do love this cold tea…the extra ginger makes it better…plus it’s better if it sits in the fridge for a day before you drink it.
Marye, sorry my approval of comments is lagging…thanks for sharing your fridge…now I’ll check out your blog…I love collecting blogs.
Yeah..next time give me some warning and I will bleach it first!!!
