In my experience the
litmus test for judging the depth of a friendship is the refrigerator, or more
accurately, access to the appliance.
With a few exceptions, only close family and friends can wander into each
other’s kitchen and open the refrigerator to look for something to eat or
drink.
In my lifetime I can
count perhaps 3 friendships where there was uninhibited access to the fridge in
each others kitchen.
