whats in your kitchen?

[Millymollymandy]

I'm laughing thinking I would be here all day too, just listing the different kinds of sugars and flours I have here. Never mind all the different dried pulses and grains. Then everything else. Just getting rid of abut 10 jars of different kinds of chutneys, jams and jellies tomorrow when I go and visit a friend. I've been up and down 2 flights of stairs with loads of jars - no room to store these things in the kitchen, they are in cardboard boxes in the debarras off the 2nd spare bedroom and the rest are in the downstairs bathroom cupboards!

It's crazy to need a big house just to house my jam and chutney collection.

And I thought that I was bad having 2 cupboards devoted to it! Although I have considered building and extension to house it all!

Well I got rid of the full jars and have come home with loads of empties - forgot, I need a large house for all the empty jam jars as well..... have a whole cupboard full in the cellar-cum-mud room, then the rest in cardboard boxes all over the place. I have a fear of running out of jam jars..... (actually it's because a couple of years ago I had to buy some, and they cost the earth empty! )

Lots of fruit, veggies in fridge, also a pretty good selection of very marginal cheese, butter, milk, eggs from the chicklets in the coop, and the remains of the soup made from the remains of the Roast Sticky Chicken from Sunday dinner.

In the pantry, home canned; grape juice, corn relish, dilly beans, beefy tomato soup, salsa, spaghetti sauce, pickled beets, dill, sweet, bread & butter, and cinnamon pickles, pork, ground beef, turkey, rabbit, chicken, and JAMS. I mean really a lot of jam. Variations on strawberry mostly (we had a bumper crop of strawberrys this season and I plan to give them as Christmas gifts at the holidays), but also some peach, apple butter, apricot, and a few different marmalades.

We also keep and rotate through five gallon buckets of dried beans, rice, and other staples out there.

My favorite kitchen tools are my carbon steel wok (which I finally have seasoned almost to perfection), a Vitamix blender, and Rada knives.

Oh, I forgot--our Veg freezer is in pantry too, but it's getting sort-of empty-ish and awaiting new goodies.
