What is your fear?

It was scary but I did it- I cleaned out my fridge.  I have been putting it off for awhile; which made it even worse.  I hate wasting food so I postpone tossing out my leftovers even when they are to old to eat.  There is this battle going on in my head between "is it still safe to eat" and "but I can't throw it out because that would be wasteful".  I know a women who never saves the leftovers. When I first heard that I thought that she was crazy but now years later I think about all the food I had to eventually toss out any way and then wash and sterilize the containers from the mold- She was smarter than I gave her credit for.
