Your Pantry or Mine, Round 1

Your Pantry or Mine

It seems I may have stirred up a bit of commotion with the food snob series. (and yes, there will be more entries there!). The commotion has also stirred up a very positive event.

If you read The Food Snob Chronicles Volume 1, you’ll know that I issued a challenge to the particular Airman who brought about the series in the first place. While said person has not responded to that invitation, I have had someone else step up. I’m very pleased to say that I accept, and that I’ll be making this a regular feature here at CbsoP!

Jess from The Computer Diva Diaries has offered up the contents of her pantry and fridge for me to play with.

In her own words:

“I’m not the one to whom your directive was issued; but if you do decide to make a regular feature out of the “tell me the contents of your pantry and I’ll tell you what to do to make it fabulous” idea, I’d like to reserve a spot in line now, if I may :) I am a serial purchaser of things I really don’t need but, for whatever reason, think I need to have in my pantry, and then they stay there. Forever, or until I can unload them on someone else, or until they expire, whichever comes first.”

Once I receive her list, I’ll pick a few things willy-nilly, go for broke in the kitchen between the first and the fifth of June and see if I can provide a bit of relief for those “about to expire” ingredients.

So Jess, your place in line is reserved, and I’m looking forward to seeing what you’ve got for me to work with.

If you’ve got an overflowing pantry and would like to see what someone with no plan to speak of can do with the ingredients, just leave a comment or shoot me a message through the contact form to let me know!

Jerry is the epitome of cooking without a plan. As a matter of fact, he secretly wishes he could participate in an Iron Chef America episode, simply because it is one place where he wouldn't feel at all out of place. Not knowing the ingredients beforehand doesn't make him nervous at all. Of course, the reality is that he'd probably lose and look entirely foolish, but hey, it would still be fun!

  1. I will be watching for these ideas. When the hubby is home (he’s deployed) we have awesome meals. cooking for two toddlers holds it own challenges. I can handle the grill, so we do this alot.

  2. I cook by the seat of my pants on a daily basis….it makes things more fun…always pressure filled and always a deadline and hungry people….heh. Great site…gotta like it. Will definitely be regularly looking at this.

    Can’t wait to see what you’ll come up with - maybe you can guest post something on my site about it!?
