The key lesson I’ve taught you is to refuel!

**What Happened:** Last Tuesday, I decided to do some serious spring cleaning—or rather, spring-into-a-mess cleaning. I was determined to tackle the pantry, which had become a chaotic time capsule of expired snacks and mystery jars. In the midst of my epic purging, I stumbled upon a half-empty bottle of hot sauce that I bought back when I mistakenly thought I’d become a gourmet chef. Spoiler alert: I did not. I gleefully tossed it in the recycling but then forgot about it for three whole days. When I finally remembered, I went to grab a snack, opened the fridge, and nearly had a heart attack upon seeing the bottle staring at me like an old enemy ready for revenge.

**Why It’s Funny:** It’s like the hot sauce was camping out in my fridge, just biding its time for the perfect moment to unleash its spicy vengeance. I could practically hear it whispering, “If I taught you anything, it’s to replenish!” I promptly added “hot sauce” to my shopping list, realizing that the real lesson here wasn’t about cooking; it was about not leaving old “friends” on the shelf to gather dust. Because if there’s one thing my fridge taught me, it’s that without replenishment, even sauces can turn into dramatic stars of their own horror films!
