I live in Hoboken, New Jersey, which means that right now, I don't actually live there. My little town, just across the river from Manhattan, still hasn't recovered from the torrential rains and swelling waters of last week's Superstorm Sandy, so I'm camped out in the Upper West Side home of my very hospitable uncles. Once the power comes back on in my own apartment, I'll go home, and when I do, I'm going to be faced with a very empty (and at the moment, very room-temperature) refrigerator. I'm looking at this as a silver-lining situation: out go all the crusted-over mustards and containers of unidentifiable leftovers, in comes a shiny new beginning. I asked my fellow SAVEUR editors (most of whom luckily never lost power during the hurricane) how they'd go about re-stocking their own fridges.
