Describing the flush of shame when a guest sees the fridge's true contents.

The fridgeblush host stands between the open door and the visitor, narrating defensively: the sauce is fine, the jar is for a recipe. Three wilted salads and one science project are visible, and everyone is kind about it. The door closes on a household that will clean the fridge tomorrow, honestly, with feeling.
