Comments on: Getting Real With Food, Pt. 2 http://heavenlyhomemakers.com/getting-real-with-food-pt-2 Encouraging women in homemaking, healthy eating and parenting Thu, 24 May 2012 14:41:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 By: Deb Brown http://heavenlyhomemakers.com/getting-real-with-food-pt-2/comment-page-1#comment-147750 Deb Brown Sat, 11 Feb 2012 14:37:50 +0000 http://heavenlyhomemakers.com/getting-real-with-food-pt-2#comment-147750 Your pantry is beautiful. I am rapt with admiration for the organization and symetry. And yes, I am a nerd myself, and would not deny a charge of OCD. Denial would be futile, as anyone who visits sees the orderly row of nails in my haybarn with hay twine hanging from each nail sorted by color. The trunk is brilliant! I have been using 5-gallon buckets (with lids) to store opened 25 pound bags of rice, grains and beans from Azure Standard, but there's much wasted space with that method, as once the bag begins to deplete, that whole 5-gallon bucket is being wasted on an ever-dwindling supply of whatever was in the bag. With the trunk, as bags shrink over time, there is more room to fit in a fresh bag of something else. Beautiful! I was recommending Azure Standard to a friend in another state, and found your blog searching the web for info to help her know how easy it is. Great blog! Your pantry is beautiful.

I LOVE your Pantry, and I share your love for jars! A friend from work just gave me all his mom's old canning supplies & WOW! What a blessing & a treat! Some of the jars were old & different, shaped a bit round or the designs are just not ones I've seen! it's SO cool! Anyhoo, I was very frustrated that the large jars are so expensive (eBay) & was SO pleased to find the 2 Qt & the Gallon size from Azure! (and reasonably priced! I'm anxiously awaiting my first order next week! ;) More comments to come from me... thanks for all your hard work - your blog is very informative, entertaining & I LOVE the recipe ideas & am SO glad to have found you!

I've learned that flour and such need to be stored in tightly sealed containers to avoid getting worms and moths. (They love to eat all that nutritious healthy stuff!) But where can we find large containers for storing flour (etc) without spending a fortune?? I don't have a large pantry because we live in a city apartment, but I've tried to get large containers to store all my baking goods. They are expensive (in my opinion, anyway).

The family who owned the house before we did designed and built the pantry. I think he's a genius. I've always loved pantries, but never had one before this house. I LOVE it.
