> Well littermates,

> Then the dreaded pantry was begun. I moved the canned

> (actually a lot of Rubbermaid and Anchor Hocking) into
> the pantry, organized, re-arranged and threw out
> expired food from the pantry. I have a bag of
> semi-expired food that dh and I are going to eat (dry
> goods, nothing perishable).
> Then I got crazy. I have a corner cupboard above the

> it and a lot of wasted space. The lazy susan had
> baking supplies, spices, ect and it was VERY
> disorganized. Then I noticed that dd's stuff was in

> I threw out any food that expired in the 1990's.
> (Yes, I had some.) Some stuff that expired in 2000.
> (Less of that.) Some expired food that I knew we
> would never eat. A can of shortening that expired in
> March of 2000. Yuck! And we still have enough food to
> be snowed in for months! But the good news was that
> the trash men were late and I got the bag to the curb
> today and it is now gone. The rats at the dump are
> eating well tonight! I felt so guilty for throwing
> out food but I know that food banks and other
> charities don't accept food that is old and expired.
> So...I will just have to curb my shopping habits.
> So, my new project is to see just how long I can live
> out of my freezer and pantry, going to the store only
> for milk and bread (and once we run out of ground beef
> and chicken, that too). And dh agreed to do that (you
> all know about the $50 rule at Walmart <g>) so we can
> save extra money. Further example of how you learn
> new habits while babystepping. :)
> The dishes are done. And I am going to relax and
> watch SVU tonight. CSI was good last night, I enjoyed
> it. :) That is my dream job, forensic scientist. I
> actually looked into going back to school for it but I
> think it will stay a dream. (Physics, organic
> chemistry and calculus in one semester? I think not!)
> For now I will just enjoy my shows, and forensic
> night on the discovery channel. I'll just call it a
> hobby. Besides, being around crime scenes and dead
> bodies all day would probably mess with my head.
