The Pantry Challenge - CRAFT:along April

Here we go... I am being brave and showing you the "before" version of my pantry, complete with overloaded shelves, 2 brooms (and a swiffer?!) and a half-full trash can.

And ... AFTER!

Improvements include:

-Getting rid of some old stuff that was never going to be eaten (canned chicken from 2003, anyone?)

-New trash can that the dog cannot get into (hooray!)

-Moving all but one broom to the garage

-Two sets of sliding wire drawers on the top shelf, for dry goods like rice, bean, and pasta.  (I recently discovered that I can take these containers to the health food store, have them weighed, and refill them out of the bulk bins.  Nifty, eh?)

-Found a bunch of weird ingredients that I am determined to either use up, donate, or toss.  


Random stuff I found in the pantry

Tomorrow night, I'm thinking stir fry with the rice noodles and maybe some veggie sushi.  (See the wasabi paste and the seaweed sheets?) 

Any ideas about the truffle?

Looks great!! I have a bunch of plans for mine, but right now it is crazy... knowing I plan to work on it has made me lazy and I just keep stuffing things in and not worrying about putting things back in the right place. Thanks for the inspiration!
