I used to be the girl with the empty refrigerator. I was a professional dancer, so I didn’t cook and I didn’t eat – so who needs it?
I moved to Durham back in 2004. Three months later I met Joe at (you guessed it) a restaurant. From the moment we met, this guy was just as passionate, intense, and CRAZY about me as he was about food.
During our first date, I casually mentioned that I was living in a sublet, and had an empty fridge. Joe said, “That is such a coincidence” explaining that he was moving to another apartment and needed a place to store “a few” things. The following day Joe showed up at my small sublet with enough food to fill an entire grocery store, not just the fridge! We are talking about seven kinds of mustard, 10 flavors of jelly, and plenty of items that I couldn’t even identify. What had I gotten myself into? Maybe a teeny taste of things to come…
It is now six years later. I have been married to Joe for two years. My life and my fridge are full, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
