The fact that you also have / had hairy carrots lurking in the fridge makes me feel so much better.
I get a very weird, unsettled feeling when my fridge is bare, I think it stems from childhood, but even if there is plenty to eat in the cupboards, I’m all kinds of out of sorts until the refrigerator has been restocked. I don’t think I’ll ever figure it out. (I do force myself through clean-outs like yours from time to time, I just hate them).
What, neurotic? Me? Quit staring.

Good for you. I’ve been trying to do more pantry cooking, but it is harder than it sounds. We are really spoiled with fresh produce, dairy and meats. It is much easier to be a good cook with fresh stuff. But using only pantry items makes it more difficult, especially if you’re trying to be healthy. I guess chips / dip would be great out of the pantry, but not much nutrition. I admire your ability to pull this off, especially with several little ones to feed.
