Show us what's in your fridge.

So, when Vox chooses your hunt question, you gotta do it, and with gusto!
This is my fridge. I use the term "my" loosely as I live with my immediate family, so I didn't really choose much of what's in here. If I lived alone, my fridge would probably look similar to those celebrities' who appear on MTV's Cribs, minus the three thousand cans of Pepsi (which I know they don't drink lest they want their personal trainers to give them a karate chop to the teeth, so I conclude they must have been paid to put it there), which means I'd basically have nothing at all in there because I'm broke. Okay, so this is colour and number coded for your convenience:
1 (or BLUE MISHAPEN CIRCLE): Bagged milk! I guess some people don't know about bagged milk? Well, it's a pretty great Canadian invention if you're someone who is clumsy, like myself, and drops stuff all over the floor and likes to see it explode. I think this is how my mom acquired the nickname "The Bomber". Also, last week I accidentally drank some chocolate bagged milk which was sour and I kind of wanted to throw up.
2 (or YELLOW, ACTUALLY A PRETTY GOOD CIRCLE): Newmann's Own Grape Juice! It's only probably the best grape juice ever. I should mention that probably about fifty percent of what's in our fridge is juice. We have about ten different juices at any given time. We're a juice family.
3 (or PINK MISHAPEN CIRCLE): Five Alive with Bilingual Packaging!
4 (or NEON GREEN SQUASHED CIRCLE): Half a pepper stuffed with chili that's been sitting there for a week and I'm kind of afraid of it.
Everything else is either baked goods or some sort of pickled vegetable. Or eggs.
Give us artsy fartsy.

The above and following pieces are just some paintings/drawings I've done over the past little while with the frustratingly small amount of time I have had. The above is my first oil painting and second overall painting EVER, so I'm pretty proud of it. It is also unfinished. I accidentally squashed a bug on it and now I don't know what I'm going to do. Ew.
Semi-surrealist watercolour bird painting. I'm pretty sure I picked up this idea from somewhere but I don't remember where. I'm also not sure as to whether or not it's finished.
The following drawings are all fall-themed and inspired, as I think fall is really the most delicious season of the year. It's a shame it only last two or three weeks.
Show us something that takes your breath away.
A photo I took of the bay in Avalon, New
Jersey last year. Coincidentally, where I'll be returning on Thursday
for Labour Day weekend! Dan's (extended) family owns a cottage down
there, on a little island. I know, New Jersey, what a gross place,
right? Who would want to go there? Ew! But, seriously dudes.
It's nearly at the very bottom point of N.J., so it barely qualifies as
New Jersey at all. And Oprah lives there sometimes, so it's gotta be
okay, right? Well, wait, scratch that.
Last year when we went, it was my first time ever seeing the ocean.
I was so excited I nearly peed my pants. I ran at the waves, fully
clothed, and jumped around a bunch. I got so wet and salty and
sand-mouthed (somehow), and I didn't even care. The rest of the week
was spent playing the water and lying in hammocks and kayaking through
the bay and eating greasy pizzas and walking along the boardwalk and
riding bicycles all over the town and digging giant trenches in the
sand and flying shark kites. Allergies aside, I don't think I've ever
felt healthier.
I need to purchase myself an ocean.
