I decided to clean out a cupboard on the holiday Monday. It turned into four, actually because they were all connected and it didn't make sense to do just one, when things were bleeding from one area to another.
I had decided to do it because I was getting tired of half full bags of food stuffs flying off the shelf and hitting me in the head whenever the door was opened. It's all done: things are neatly packaged and clearly labelled. An ENTIRE LARGE GREEN garbage bag of stuff was thrown out. And in the process of finding out what I had, I discovered that what I had was:
Four containers of molasses. Three of one kind in various stages of fullness, and one of a different type.
Four bags of icing sugar. One unopened, one almost new, one half full and one so empty it's a wonder I even had it hanging around.
Two bags of brown rice, neither of which were even open. Not sure how that happened*.
Three bags of cornmeal, all of which were mainly done. So I guess it was good that I kept buying it.
Two boxes of cornstarch, two bottles of corn syrup and rice flour bought for some recipe that I no longer recall/want to make.
The neatness should last....a month or so. I'm guessing.
*I love how that makes it sound like I know why the rest of it happened. When really, the answer is it happened because whilst I can remember titles/authors/plots/character names etc. from books I read decades ago I don't seem to be able to recall what I do and do not have in my cupboard.

Hurray, and YAY for you. YAY looks funny. Cleaning closets and cabinets is the job you dread for months but keep running it through your head until it ruins all the months beforehand. It's a wonder the cornmeal didn't have mealy bugs in it. (bet it did) And all that molasses.......
