Saucy Tales by Silent Zig

INSTRUCTIONS: Every ancient condiment in the back of your fridge is a tale of neglect and abandonment. Tell us yours.

Some years ago, my husband and I received raw horseradish in our bi-weekly farm delivery. At the time, I was psyched! I love horseradish and imagined putting it in everything. We shredded it and preserved it in vinegar in a little jar. Of course, what I neglected to realize was that horseradish is REALLY strong and a little goes a long way. So we used some here and there. Over time, the jar pushed further and further back into the fridge, until it was forgotten. What follows is a photo essay of my attempt to dispose of what is surely now a super-foul condiment.

The horseradish in its natural habitat.
Step one!
Into the living room!
Into the stacks!
Into the office!
Hubby helper?
Truman is unimpressed.
I'll get to this later.

Truman disapproves! Ha!

Thank goodness you didn't make it into a gourmet DIY mustard!

I LOVE MUSTARD.

I'd be glad to take that off of your hands.

All yours

Be forewarned: the jar hasn't been airtight for some time... plus it lived on the kitchen counter for over a month.

I like that your condiment has a story about getting out of the fridge, but eventually returns to familiar surroundings.

What's that they say about "you can't go home again?" Well, it's the opposite for long-ignored condiments.
