Our Pantry

As promised, here is a picture of all that baby food we brought back for our little Arabian Princess:

It's like having a grocery store right here in our own pantry.  Here you see sixteen different flavors represented, and each flavor is eight packages deep.  Adding eleven loose packages on top, plus three applesauces, gives us 142 packages total, but 139 of those include two tubs, so it's 281 containers of baby food.  That's the first shelf!

The second shelf is for meats (we have about 50 jars), plus rice, oatmeal, and mixed cereals, formula, four kinds of puffs, and three kinds of yogurt tabs.  We also have a few of those pouches with the screw top lids in the back.  Oh yeah, and one extra Target brand pears in the front there.  Think we've got enough??

While I was rearranging the pantry to accept all this baby food, I found this, which Mike must have bought while we were gone:

COUNTRY Corn Flakes??  Are these somehow different than regular corn flakes?  As opposed to City Corn Flakes, perhaps?  Maybe they mean country like nation.  Each flake is shaped like a country?  "Look, Mom!  I got Sweden and Japan in the same spoonful!"  ???  (Speaking of countries, these Corn Flakes were manufactured in Lebanon by a Swiss company and distributed from Dubai for sale in Saudi.  Maybe it means Multi-Country Corn Flakes.)

  1. I am very impressed!
    When we lived in Brussels I packed a whole suitcase full of dog food and brought it back from the States. We had both dogs with us over there because one was on special diet :)

  2. You rock!

    The corn flakes crack me up. I keep thinking of obnoxious comments, like "Mike was country... when country wasn't cool." Or "Breakfast for the Delta Dawn" or "You Don't Have to Call Me Darlin'... Cornflakes" or "Cereal for Your Foggy Mountain Breakdown" or "Chattahoochie Cornflakes" or "The Cornflakes Went Down to Georgia" or... okay, I'll quit now! LOL.
