A Few Months Ago...

So my friend Dani and I just moved into a new apartment! So exciting. It's slightly overwhelming to move. However, I've had much experience the last few years. I'm a seasoned expert -- if you want to label my moving skills that is.
However, one thing that is frustrating is re-buying groceries. Being a younger, unmarried person, I don't really stock up on very many things. But all the things that you have to purchase just to be able to cook! Spices, butter, flour, eggs, sugar, oil, wax paper, foil... and then you have to buy food to cook! It's overwhelming.
It reminded me of a much simpler time. Back in the day, when I lived at the Weatherford house. You see, once upon a time, there was an abundance of most everything at the Weatherford's. Though most days consisted of complaining that there was no food, Kristin and I made quite a discovery. Both of us attempting to avoid actual work (school, that is) decided to clean out the pantry. What we came up with was this:


While this probably doesn't top a lot of you mom's pantries, this is just a sampling. We found also an abundance of canned vegetables, various raw pastas, 3 bottles of maple syrup, 3 bottles of vanilla flavoring, about the equivalent of 8lbs. of Crisco in various forms and flavors. The list goes on! I found these three items the most impressive, however. **Keep in mind, only 4 girls live in the house that this pantry belongs to!**

9 jars of peanut butter


8 cans of tuna

Approximately a zillion instant oatmeal packets

Where did all this food go!? I have now 1 jar of peanut butter, no tuna, and maybe 8 packets of oatmeal. This new apartment may be cool, but the cupboards are slightly bare!
