You are right, all are possible. In terms of logic and chronology, I would say "when I....I was thinking... but'


Or, "Before I opened the fridge, I thought ....but..."

I feel the correct answer is " had thought" as this is what had come to my mind before opening the fridge. However, I still need to have a discussion with the members of this great forum so that one of them can give me a proof as to whether my answer is correct or not

They are all correct. I like b well enough. That seems to be your preference. It's fine.
