Pantry Raid Results: April 3, 2007

Last week I shared pictures of my pantry and asked for readers to send me their pantry pictures. I’m a voyeur and enjoy peeking into other people’s cupboards — two daring people threw open their doors to expose their food arsenals.

First to respond was Paula from Wisconsin who you’ll find hanging out at Group Recipes. I spy some Easter candy of the top shelf that looks good — I never turn down a Butterfinger. But I am a little concerned by her storage of coconut milk so close to the lights bulbs. I would hate to accidentally grab the wrong thing :-) Fortunately, I see lots of good ingredients here

In our next view, you’ll see an additional storage cupboard — and I’m impressed that she cans her own veggies (see bottom shelf). She has quite a few empty jars, so I’m sure she’ll be busy this summer. And notice what a good deal Paula found with her graham crackers — $.25. Good job, Paula!

The next and final entry comes from Clare in Los Angeles who whips up culinary mayhem over at her food blog, Rainy Days and Sundays (check out her recent batch of mini cheesecakes — wow!).

Clare is clearly all about her seasonings – she has an entire army of spice bottles, along with what appears to be every type of oil, vinegar, and sauce. Your food will never be bland when dining at Clare’s house :-)

Sharffenberger *and* Ghiradelli … Clare is prepared for any situation.

It looks as though Clare has everything required to create a sweet dessert at a moment’s notice. And if there are leftovers, she will have a Ziploc bag that’s just the right size! Oh, and notice the round tortilla-looking package … it appears to be vietnamese spring roll wrappers. These are the kind you soak in warm water then roll around cooked beef, bean sprouts, rice noodles, and cilantro and then dip into a soy based dipping sauce.

Well, that’s it — a big thank you to Paula and Clare for participating! Stay tuned for more chances to share your pics. If you have any voyeuristic ideas, send me an email!
