I should really label some of the containers, and am currently relying on memory for some things like masa and corn flour, which could easily be mixed up. I'll get on those labels right away. <br /><br />Thanks for the reminder!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-87812984232963691902012-08-31T02:29:13.808-07:002012-08-31T02:29:13.808-07:00hi. your pantry seems really big. need quite a wor...hi. your pantry seems really big. need quite a work on regular basis to manage. i suggest use as many labeled containers as you can.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.green-processing.com/" rel="nofollow">Plastic Storage Containers</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14207908020496744478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-34843990073801376162012-08-14T16:01:29.417-07:002012-08-14T16:01:29.417-07:00I love the look of glass jars in a pantry.

I'd toss them into baked beans, on top of baked potatoes, in soup. Anyways, over the course of about 4 or 5 years we went through enough of those for me to acquire about 6 of those jugs. <br /><br />And I like peeking into other people's pantries too. I was online the other night googling images of pantries. Strange, I know. But I'm always looking for new ideas.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-37289205432714405672012-08-14T15:16:23.625-07:002012-08-14T15:16:23.625-07:00Hi Lili,

I don't keep mine tidy year round, but usually do a major clean out when on holiday from school. I'm curious, do you mind telling me what kind of food came in the re purposed plastic food storage containers with the handles? Those are really nice and they look great on your pantry shelf. :) You did a great job.

When my 3 kids were small they had a favorite treat -- fake bacon bits. I used to buy them from the wholesaler in those gallon-size jugs. Can you believe we went through that many jugs of fake bacon? I used to eat them by the handful too. Anyways, the containers are so handy. I've had a couple of people ask where I "bought" them, even. <br /><br />Do you have some favorite storage containers in your pantry? I like containers that I can see through. Some food items just look pretty, when you can see through the containers. Glass jars are nice for that, too.<br /><br />Thanks for reading!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-46407979786742694682012-08-14T11:26:30.406-07:002012-08-14T11:26:30.406-07:00Our pantry probably looks bugger than it is, but i...Our pantry probably looks bugger than it is, but it is still a good size. (I think it's about 5 feet square). We converted an unused corner in the kitchen, family, laundry area to a pantry several years back. Before this pantry we had a freestanding armoire for a pantry. It worked, but it was small.<br /><br />I do buy quite a lot, but as you've observed, I enjoy cooking and baking, *plus* (and a big plus here) I have two teenage daughters who love, love, love to cook. They're making dinner tonight. Yesterday they baked a big batch of cookies. They always have something they want to make.<br /><br />I had in mind a collapsable step ladder that would hang on a wall when not in use. Mostly I need to be able to get to the top shelves in the pantry, easily enough that I don't just toss stuff up there. We'll see. I take my time choosing things, so this could be a while!<br /><br />Thanks for commenting!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-10133466013979812402012-08-14T05:16:18.983-07:002012-08-14T05:16:18.983-07:00Hope you feel better now the dentist is out the wa...Hope you feel better now the dentist is out the way.

For me, I try not to buy too much stuff even when it's on sale because I usually end up wasting some of it. You may do much better at using things than I do. You seem to like the kitchen arts.<br /><br />Another thought, if you put a step ladder in your pantry won't you have to drag that around just like the chairs and it will be another thing to move out of the way of things in the pantry? I'm not sure I'm envisioning it all correctly, but that's what popped into my head when I read about the ladder.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.com
