operation: pantry organization

so, we lost everything in the freezer from losing power and most that was in the fridge. we finally felt like it was safe to go to the store yesterday given our power, or lack there of, situation.

here's the before:

(jello with soy sauce, cockeyed cornstarch and a random opened bag of butterscotch chips?)

when we got back from the store i found myself stuffing, and i mean stuffing, food into the pantry. ironic, because the reason we went to the store is because i kept complaining about having no food! i didn't deal with it last night, but i made a mental promise that i needed to take care of it today.

i found food that expired in 2008...that's ridiculous. it made me angry to know that we had wasted food. at least we're starting "new" and will hopefully not "lose" anything in the cabinets again!

and the after:

(dana--see my labels?!)

look at that bottom shelf--you couldn't even see it before!
