LOL--does the refer seem too big w/o it? If you aren't missing the drawer and what went into it, maybe you don't need it.
After I clean out the refer, I love to go by later, open the door and enjoy how nice it looks! LOL
Sadly, it doesn't take long before I have too much in there or as you said...something is left to die in there and then it starts all over again!!!

"God and the soldier, all men adore
In time of danger, and not before.
When the danger is passed and all things righted,
God is forgotten, and the soldier slighted."
