So, I store a little bit of rice, flour(not as much as you), dried pasta and chow mein noodles. We also have some canned soups, beans and pasta sauce. That's about it.<BR/><BR/>Erm... I'm not letting anyone see my disorganized pantry, though. :)<BR/>You inspire me to organize, though!Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04017408882651443811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6712792048803588321.post-63785436072584295842009-02-25T08:00:00.000-08:002009-02-25T08:00:00.000-08:00Hi, Myrnie - I don't know how you found me, but I ...Hi, Myrnie - <BR/><BR/>I don't know how you found me, but I appreciated your comments on my blog and I am sooo happy to have found yours. I love it and am going to add it to the list of my favorites.<BR/><BR/>What part of the country are you living in? I'm in Utah.<BR/><BR/>I love your food storage post...Now, HOW did you obtain those big buckets that you added lids to? I use my dried beans, flour, wheat and rice all the time so I haven't put them in buckets but I'd like to...<BR/><BR/>It's nice to meet you. Stop by any time and I will keep checking your blog!<BR/><BR/>God bless,<BR/>ElizabethElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00495298953834229360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6712792048803588321.post-84278898521108357032009-02-25T06:10:00.000-08:002009-02-25T06:10:00.000-08:00I envy your organizational skills as everything lo...I envy your organizational skills as everything looks so tidy and easy to find. <BR/><BR/>I don't have much storage space and ended up purchasing a tall plastic unit with 3 shelves which helps hold cereal and larger items; it is functional but makes the kitchen look ugly. <BR/><BR/>My Mom grew up during the depression so I was raised to buy things on sale and stock up and be creative with what you have, which I am thankful for as it has gotten us through some hard times and even though we might have been broke, there was still food in the cupboards. <BR/><BR/>When I get my tax money, I will probably buy more to store as my ex has been unemployed since June and the main contract where I work at is up this June and I may be out of job. <BR/><BR/>We eat a lot of potatoes, rice, pastas, canned vegetables and cereals. I hate to admit it but I do buy frozen pre-packaged items that I get on sale that can be cooked quickly in the microwave for the days I work (I work 12 hr shifts) and for my son to fix for himself (I am teaching him how to cook but still don't trust him with the stove yet). <BR/><BR/>Another bad habit is we drink as case or two of Diet Coke a week. I did invest in a 3 gallon water tap for the fridge to encourage us to drink more water and less pop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6712792048803588321.post-79875074287240481582009-02-23T22:32:00.000-08:002009-02-23T22:32:00.000-08:00Myrnie, I love it!

NO-THING. The fridge has some wilting onions and grapefruits and some crusty bottles of jam, and that's about it. Every day I end up having to go to the store if I want to make dinner. I need to learn from you, O Wise One.<BR/><BR/>And this is random but I'll say it anyway...I'm not at all surprised that you and Aunt Lolo are sisters, because you are both the dearest, sweetest people, though I only know you in the Blogosphere, I must say that anyway. :)Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04112717691155332450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6712792048803588321.post-43452265021001817982009-02-23T13:57:00.000-08:002009-02-23T13:57:00.000-08:00What a great idea!

T...Hmm...we eat a lot of rice, chicken and veggies. Throw in some pork, and an assortment of chinese sauces, and we can last for quite a while. Chinese food doesn't lend itself to stored stuff very well. Not that they don't have it - Hong Kong and Southern coastal china are FAMOUS for their dried fruits and seafood. Those things are just kind of expensive compared to the fresh. <BR/><BR/>I keep 25-50 lbs of rice on hand, and I have about 75 lbs of flour and 30 lbs of sugar. I should make sure I have enough oil on hand to make bread, and we really should get more canned proteins and dried beans. Oh, and we keep a lot of pasta on hand but use it mostly to make chow mein now that Siu Jeun has limited my diet so much!LunaMoonbeamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09945247325982035591noreply@blogger.com
