One week left before extensive travel. I made a big batch of curry today with split peas, sweet potatoes and black beans. I've got enough to last the week and I have a meal or two out planned, so I shouldn't get bored.
I expect to use up my oatmeal too.
I'm struggling over what to store and what to give away. It would be lovely to come home in 6 months and have a few staples.... but really? Who packs up a half a pound of dried beans? And spices are best fresh, but are also the most expensive item, so perhaps worth saving, but then no longer fresh? ahhh!
My pantry: 8 eggs, pesto, yeast, soy sauce, diced garlic, black beans, 3 lbs rice, 1/2 pound barley, 4 oz coffee, 4 oz tea, 2 cups sugar, 1/4 sorghum, 12 jars of spices, 1/4 cup tapioca, cornstarch, cocoa, baking soda/powder, vinegar, peanut butter, 2 cans of soup, 3 bananas, 2 apples, 4 sweet potatoes, 2 cups oatmeal, 1 cup coconut oil, sea salt, 2 tbsp butter, 2 bottles of whiskey
