Everything is out of the pantry. Two bagsful of old and unused grains, spices, seeds, and nuts are ready for the compost. Empty mason jars are stored on top of the upper cupboards to wait for end-of-summer canning. I only have a few more products stored in plastic bags – the goal was to get everything into glass jars or at least sturdy plastic recycled containers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the winter, the pantry is a “cold room.” We keep it cooler than the rest of the space to help preserve stored crops. We don’t have a root cellar or any other good system for winter storage. Maybe someday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the summer, the pantry is just another room and tends to become a catchall space for random equipment and stuff. What we need to keep in there fluctuates seasonally. That probably means I should do a thorough cleaning twice a year but that doesn’t happen. Maybe it will become easier now that we are in more of a routine for eating and less prone to experimental purchases that don’t work out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been saying I’m going to do this for a few weeks now. Yesterday I started it on the spur of the moment. Weird how the impulse to do majorly disruptive projects arises. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
