Alice I had a neighbor once who used to stock her pantry like that too, till

one day something (a canned item) EXPLODED. I think it was tomatoes or

something, don't remember 'cept it was a huge mess LOLOLOL! She must have had

it

in there since the dawn of creation! And the most bizarre aspect of this

is, one day she rang my doorbell and asked me if I happened to have " a spare

head of cabbage " (her words exactly!) ROFLMAO!

She looked truly surprised when I told her that I didn't! A little

horrified even!

To this day I have to say that with all my fruit & vegetable excesses, I have

never stocked a spare head of cabbage! A girl's gotta draw the line

somewhere!

(okay confess do you have a spare cabbage in your veggie cooler right now?)

Ok, I had a SMALL family and always cooked like I was cooking for an army.

Now explain THAT one! I still have that problem. I do tend to freeze a lot

of what I cook, so I don't have to cook as much later.
