I prefer to think of this in a fun-loving, 'let's go down the slide' way, rather than to think of Michael Jackson.
fridge Googling pp. Running an Internet search based on some or all of the contents of one's fridge, looking for a recipe based on those contents.
On The Splendid Table radio program there used to be an occasional quiz on this theme. A caller would list for the host, chef and food lover Lynne Rossetto Kasper, a few items from his/her fridge. Lynne would have to make up something edible, with just those ingredients, on the spot. Quite entertaining!
