I went to two different grocery stores this evening sans children! Finally a chance to shop in peace. I got home with a van load of groceries and realized there was no where to put them. I found room for the frozen and refrigerated goods (definitely the beer, enjoying a nice cold Widmer right now, yum) and the rest are sitting in their nice little eco friendly reusable bags.
Tomorrow I will deal with the task of finding room for everything but tonight I decided to start this blog as a way to make myself accountable. My goals are to start planning meals and to work on using or donating what is already in the pantry. I have a side by side frig and freezer and an upright deep freeze in the basement. We have a large pantry and two corner cabinets completely full of food. That doesn't include the stockpile of tomatoes, green beans, and jelly I have canned and stored in the basement. There can't be that many staples that I absolutely must have right?
I'll start with the next three days. I'm leaving Sunday to go out of town to work so the meals being served at my house will most likely consist of take out pizza, PB and J, and showing up at Grandmas house at dinner time.
