Fridge or Cupboard

[Shemadee]

I freeze a couple of loaves, one white and one wholemeal, then take a few slices out when needed. Keep it in the bread bin. I don't keep eggs or tomatoes in the fridge. Try to keep bananas separately as they are supposed to cause other fruit/veg to deteriorate more quickly.

I have an old fashioned larder with marble shelves so I keep my eggs in there - we have chickens so we get 6 a day! I keep vegetables in the pantry, salad stuff in the bottom drawer of the fridge, bread in the bread bin on the counter top (i buy it from the local baker and it keeps fresh for ages), fruit on the counter top and bananas on one of those hanging things also on the counter top.

Oh lucky you Avo to have a larder with marble shelves.

Years ago I had a walk in larder and I used to make wine. One time I decided to make sparkling wine and stored it in the walk in larder. Weeks later I heard this huge loud banging and breaking noise in the middle of the night, I thought someone was battering down the front door. No the door was still intact, the banging subsided. So I decided it had to be something outside as I couldn't see anything wrong anywhere .......until the morning. When I opened the larder OH MY GOODNESS what a flipping mess! The wine bottle corks had exploded out of the bottles and the noise was them hitting the walls and goods in the larder!!

We freeze our bread and only take out what we need,I'm not a big bread eater and am more inclined to have Ryvita at lunch time. Egg/cheese and salad stuff all stay in the fridge along with any veg.We rarely have veg in as we buy when we need,of course come summer everything comes from the garden. Fruit is in the fruit bowl and bananas are in a separate bowl as hubs eats 3 a day and we go through loads of them. My first house had a walk in larder and it was bruddy cold in winter,when we had a big refit we had it knocked out and made part of the kitchen/diner. Hubby used to brew his own beer,but with no catastrophic cork popping fortunately.
