fridge eviction butterflies

We always keep a lot of dry pasta on hand. It keeps. The fridge on the other hand, doesn't. Or rather its tenants don't. Every once in a while eviction is required. If early enough, the rousted occupants can be put to some good use other than adding to the rising landfill problems of our nation.
