LK opened the fridge the other day and yelled, "this fridge is 80% condiments! There's no food!"
She's right, of course. What do you expect when there's pasta salad for dinner and everyone wants something different on top? B likes Thai Peanut Sauce. LK likes Worcestershire Sauce. Both like sun dried tomatoes. H likes Newman's Own. T an LJ like Parmesan Cheese. And I like something different every time. So we keep a lot of condiments around. What my kids mean, though, when they say there is no food is that there is no food they don't have to prepare. I know that now. It use to bother me. Now I ignore it and try to keep stuff on hand to munch on. I'm not good at that because I don't like to keep munchies on hand for my sake. It's too tempting. It's really a Catch-22 situation. Oh, well. At least they haven't complained about the yarn in the freezer yet. (Just kidding!)

Our minds must run in the feeding trough.
We have the condiment virus, too! Usually it's soy sauce packets and not too popular salad dressings. Mom loves to coupon-shop and so we have alot of ketchup, mustard and MAYONNAISE. We have had as many as four 'back-up' jars in the pantry. I've discovered crystallized: honey, sun dried tomatoes, jams and even chutney.
yes we need some food in this house that you don't have to pour
Would you believe, I had to give Dave my recently thawed bean soup? I like to have soup for lunch, summer or winter...but I was just beaned out. The last ham hock made gallons...My freezer was full, but there were so many good buys like pork chops and round steak. Now I hsve stroganoff in the crock pot for pot luck tomorrow at writers' group
