Pantry Inventory (Updated 11/01/2013)
It's time to update my pantry inventory. Much of what was there has been replenished but I'm hoping to use up things that have been around for 6 months or more.
As you know, my last attempt to clear out my pantry was not successful to the extent that I emptied my pantry. But that was never going to happen ... realistically. This way, however, I will refresh my memory of what's there, how long it's been there and what I should use up or discard.
