What's the first you do when you arrive at your parent's house? After the initial hugs and greeting? You open their fridge and take a long look inside. I'm right about this aren't I? Its like an universal activity: I'm back on the mother planet and I need to check on their valuable life sustaining resources.Age is not a factor: many of my 50+ friends tell me that as soon as they have said hello to their parents they make a bee-line for the fridge sometimes even stepping on Bowser or Fluffy in the process.
And the same friends tell me that when their 20-something children come home they too head for the fridge like it is a beacon worthy of rapt attention. And then for some, they don't stop there but continue on to check out the contents of the pantry.
Families. I think the universal sign to indicate a family should not be the outlines of two adults and two children but a large well stocked refrigerator with a family gathered around looking inside.

Yep, they still have pretty much the same stuff in their fridge except now we are smart enough to bring our little containers. ;)
