Pantry Clean-out

Do you have a pantry?  They are wonderful.  So nice to go into your pantry when you need something for a meal, a snack, whatever.  Problem is if you don't cook that much, many times items in your pantry get beyond the expiration date.  For example the photo below.

This very sadly is all the food I threw away tonight.  Huge waste of money and I feel guilty when I know there are people all over the world that do not have enough food.  This is only because of poor planning on my part and laziness.  I'm sure this is not all but I was tired after going through all of this and it is the majority.  Many of the items were farther than a year beyond their best buy date.  Ugh.

In our preparation for moving, or if we don't end up moving, at least I have one more area in the house pretty much cleaned up.  Trying to decide what I want to clean tomorrow. 

Watered the garden tonight.  The drought continues.  Hopefully all this work is not in vain but I have a bad feeling that we will end up with not very much on the plants.  I haven't given up hope yet.  We are forecast for 90s all week with no rain.

Typical

As usual I start something and don't carry through very well.  It has been a while since I have been blogging.  Today am feeling restless and discontented.  My beans froze Monday night so need to start by planting them again inside.  Maybe I just need to knit and create something. 

Going to Mom's for Easter.  Should be a good time, quiet.  Will go see my uncle who has Stage IV lung cancer and see if my cousins will visit for a bit.

Have almost completed my aunt's knitted socks.  Have maybe a couple of hours left so probably should complete them.  I am better at starting than completing as are most people.
