Meet the food hoard

Here is what I mean by hoarding food.

This is the main food store cupboard:




In here are canned goods, and staples like rice, pasta, legumes etc. This cupboard is about 2 1/2 feet wide and about 2 feet deep. It is a nightmare, because it is hard to find anything because everything ends up being piled on top of other stuff.

This is the spice rack:





This is the fridge as of tonight.


Bear in mind I am going away in two days time! Actually, it is not as bad as it looks in terms of fresh food, because the fridge is also home to a large proportion of the condiment hoard. The entire bottom shelf of the fridge is condiments. The back half of the centre and top shelves is also filled with condiments of all sorts. Off the top of my head, I have

  1. homemade horseradish & chilli mustard ( 2 jars)
  2. some store-bought chilli mustard
  3. Dijon mustard
  4. French's American Yellow mustard
  5. my homemade spiced catsup
  6. Heinz catsup
  7. Hellman's Hot 'n' Spicy Catsup
  8. Hellman's Curry Sauce
  9. Geo Atkins & Co Anchovy Sauce
  10. Geo Atkins & Co Mushroom Catsup
  11. Geo Atkins & Co Harvey's Sauce
  12. Truffle oil
  13. Truffle & Mushroom sauce for pasta
  14. Pesto
  15. green pepper corns (THREE! jars)
  16. cranberry sauce
  17. ghee
  18. jalapeno peppers
  19. homemade red Thai curry paste
  20. homemade green Thai curry paste
