As our family is purchasing more in bulk to save money, broaden our food storage supply and avoid weekly grocery store runs (thus saving money on gas), this means a reorganization of our pantry space (and this new series).
"Such a funny house! There were yards and yards of sandy passages, leading to storerooms and nut-cellars and seed-cellars, all amongst the roots of the hedge.
There was a kitchen, a parlour, a pantry, and a larder.
Also, there was Mrs. Tittlemouse's bedroom, where she slept in a little box bed!"
~ Beatrix Potter, The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse
