Investing in Your Pantry and Bargain Antiques @ CNN Money and Yahoo! Financ

KBIS 2008 - More Pantry Love!
2008-04-24 12:57:00 From KBIS, I have too many fun images of organizational finds for the pantry not to share them with you, so there is more for today. And, if you're like me, I think it's so much fun to discover new ways of organizing (yes, FUN.) Keeps the insides of our cabinets interesting, so that they, oh let's take a stretch here, do their JOB to amuse their pantry masters, right? Not to mention adding efficiency to the mix. Poor pantries, SO much work to do! I think my own pantry definitely needs therapy, it's so mixed up...Here we go again. Would you prefer this for your corner wall cabinet (it pulls out!): &-nbsp; &n-bsp; OR- THIS....! No contest! -; - &-nbsp;Also from Knape & Vogt is this super handy pull out tray divider... &nb-sp; &nbs-p; -; From Rev-A-Shelf, ne...
KBIS 2008 - In The Pantry!
2008-04-23 22:57:00 I had this post all put together day before yesterday. A couple of days prior I downloaded a beta firefox3 that I read was stable, almost ready to be released (well, June) yadayada. Then, I noticed a very slow internet connection. Did I make the connection between the browser and the slow internet? Not until today when I decided to try explorer to see how that ran. Made an appointment with the ISP and everything for this Saturday! Sheesh! So, we're up and running again, nice and fast. Here we go...Let me tell you, I WORKED that show, KBIS! Ok, so I couldn't stop snapping pictures with my new camera, truth be told, BUT, my intentions were noble...and so many things were so inspiring. So, let's look at what's new for inside our kitchen cabinets and pantries. Here's a cool new mechanism thing to allow your doors to sit at any position and stay there. No worries about snapping up or down or whatever. It's by Hafele, who makes so many useful and modern products for the kitchen.Also...
' "Load up the pantry," says Manu Daftary, one of Wall Street's top investo
2008-04-23 06:57:00 "Load up the pantry," says Manu Daftary, one of Wall Street's top investors and the manager of the Quaker Strategic Growth mutual fund. "I think prices are going higher. People are too complacent. They think it isn't going to happen here. But I don't know how the food companies can absorb higher costs." (Full disclosure: I am an investor in Quaker Strategic) Stocking up on food may not replace your long-term investments, but it may make a sensible home for some of your shorter-term cash. Do the math. If you keep your standby cash in a money-market fund you'll be lucky to get a 2.5% interest rate. Even the best one-year certificate of deposit you can find is only going to pay you about 4.1%, according to Bankrate.com. And those yields are before tax. Meanwhile the most recent government data shows food inflation for the average American household is now running at 4.5% a year. And some prices are rising even more quickly. The latest data show cereal prices rising by m...

What Is In Your Blog Pantry?
2008-04-11 10:07:00 This post has been written by Monika Mundell Like a kitchen pantry, a blog pantry contains all the goodies, the seasoning and the secret ingredients for our blogs. One is forgiven to think that some bloggers seem to have all the secret ingredients while others struggle to even be noticed. Much of this has actually nothing to do with the blog pantry itself, but more so with the blogger. Attributes such as endurance, determination, social abilities, hard work and longevity can often be contributing factors of making a particular blog successful. But even without these attributes we are lucky enough to have all kind of tools available to us as bloggers. I like to call those tools my blog pantry and I’ll tell you what is in it. First off, I couldn’t imagine blogging without Windows Live Writer anymore. Therefore this application would have to be my number one favourite. The WordPress posting window really sucks in my eyes, all though this has been made somewhat easier now wi...

The Prepared Pantry - The Key To Building Muscle
2008-04-10 03:54:00 So you want to build muscle, right? Not only do you want to build muscle but you want to build it fast. Let's step inside your home for a minute. Pretend I'm the pantry police and I'm here to do a raid. What would I find? Would I find all the key muscle building ingredients you need to pack on solid lean weight or would I find a bunch of empty calorie foods that do nothing but prevent you from reaching your goal?If you're trying to gain weight, the good kind of weight - solid lean mass- having a prepared pantry can mean the difference between victory and failure. Let's step back inside your home again. If you open your refrigerator, will you find flat soda and a jar of mayo or will you find live organic produce exploding with enzymes, vitamins and minerals? What if you open your cupboard? Will you find unprocessed, whole grains rich in nutrients or will you find highly processed, diluted, refined products with a bunch of sugar and high fructose corn syrup?So do you believe ever...

Pantry Challenge
2007-11-02 22:30:00 Well it finally happened.My husband opened his mouth and told me that I had a problem.I constantly go to the grocery store and buy.Anything . Everything.And I bring it home and decide later what I am going to do with it. This week I failed to make a menu plan.And we ate sandwiches all week.The boys are confused,my husband is constantly hungry,and I am agitated beyond belief because I "have nothing to make".My husband pointed out that there is enough food in this house that I can feed all 6 of us through November with what I have here (with the exception of milk,bread and eggs).So, since I will NOT be defeated,I have spent the afternoon taking everything out of cabinets, refrigerators and freezers and made an inventory.And a ongoing meal plan.And guess what?With only using about 1/3 of what I have in the house RIGHT NOW......I have already made 14 days worth of my meal plan.Seriously.Can you believe that?Apparently my husband can.Here is a list of what I have and a list of the meals ...

2007-10-14 13:53:00 Doing any job is easier when you have the right tools on hand. One of a cook's best tools -- and secret weapons -- is having a well-stocked kitchen pantry.Cooking is much simpler if you know that you've already got what you need on hand, and aren't going to have to run to the corner market every time you want to fix a meal.Having a well-stocked pantry is also the secret weapon especially when unexpected guests drop by.You'll be able to make every guest feel special and welcome because, whether it is appetizers for four or dinner for ten, you can handle it with style and panache. In fact, your reputation -- and your sanity -- will be assured, because with these things in your pantry, you can put together beautiful and tasty food that is beautifully presented in just minutes, simply and easily.Here is a list of basic ingredients that should be in any well-stocked pantry.

Pantry Organization: The Secret Way To Easy Cooking!
2007-10-05 15:20:00 I always know when it is time to re-organize the pantry?things begin to go missing. You know those laundry mysteries? Two socks go in the dryer but only one comes out, never to return again? Well the same phenomenon occurs in the pantry ? I call the phenomenon pantry elves, but what it really is, is frustrating! A few months ago, I knew it was time, because I bought a new bottle of balsamic vinegar, put it in the balsamic vinegar spot that was empty and looked a few inches over and there was a half full bottle of the same exact balsamic vinegar. Same thing with the confectioner?s sugar ? something I must say was rarely used in my kitchen, except for now, I have joined that pesky group known as the Daring Bakers, and sugar, flour, baking powder and things that got used once a year started getting used once per month! But now there were doubles of everything ? old containers I forgot where there, sitting right next to new containers of the same stuff. So now, my small pantry had even ...

pantry raid
2007-08-18 21:53:00 I'm definitely in holiday mode, not cooking mode. Truth be told, there's not a lot of baking or cooking going on when there's itineraries to think about, travel forums to peruse, and how to pack 35 days of clothing & toiletries into one small and light carry-on pack. We were lucky to find a super cheap flight to Frankfurt, so unfortunately we won't be flying or heading into London or the UK at all. But there's lots of other great countries to explore. Our super flexible and very rough journey will take us to: Frankfurt > Koblenz > Cologne > Luxembourg > Ghent > Bruges > Brussels > Antwerp > Amsterdam > cycling around Holland > Berlin > Vilnius > Kaunas before we fly back into Frankfurt and back home to Vancouver. Any more tips and suggestions about what to see/do/eat while in Europe are more than welcome!We leave for Frankfurt on Sunday and I'm trying to only buy groceries one day at a time so that nothing goes to waste while we're on holiday. It's a sad day when my fridge h...

::The Asian Pantry
2007-08-02 16:24:00 As I think I mentioned before I am a HUGE fan of Asian cuisine, so I thought I would write a post about the essential ingredients for your very own Asian pantry.I have been having a terrible time recently when it comes to cooking Asian inspired dishes because my girlfriend is extremely allergic to soya and nuts. Soya is a staple part of Asian cuisine and in many recipe's hard to avoid. However not one to be beaten I have been adapting some of my favourite dishes without the addition of soya, so I will include some of these here in the future with soya as an option.On to the reason were here, in the ever shrinking world getting your hands on international ingredients has become ever so easy! I would normally have said just pop down to your local Chinese supermarket as this is what I would do in Dublin, but I was living in the north of Ireland for a couple of months recently and asked where the nearest Chinese supermarket was and the answer to which was laughter. There is a great lit...

Tackle It Tuesday: Pantry
2007-03-06 08:05:00 Last Saturday morning I tackled our pantry. Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to take a photo of the before. Not that I am ashamed of it (which I should probably be because it was a disaster) but because my husband will give me such a hard time if he sees me taking a picture of our cluttered pantry...In the afternoon, while hubby was in the beach with the kids (I like it when he takes the kids to the bech while I clean our house - such a good hubby and dad, isn't he?) ...I took a snap shot of the organized pantry. I was so happy that we can now find what we need we need without having to shove out everything and shove them back in again.Now the question is how long will this organized pantry last? - LOL!

Dog Pantry
2006-12-15 08:22:01 I sometimes feel guilty about feeding my dogs with commercial pet food. But there is no way my Mom will start grinding, chopping, and serving raw meat and bones for them as my Mom has to drive to office everyday..Nor do I like running to the pet food shops for tiny expensive tins of food that are believed to be healthful particularly, when all three of my dogs leave their food almost untouched except when they get some delicious yummy treats!! Hence, when it comes to dog food, I as a pet owner had to purchase natural/organic, fortified/functional, weight control, life stage, breed-/size-specific and gourmet foods, snacks, vitamins, even water. The Honest Kitchen, a San Diego-based organic pet food company, is developing dehydrated human-grade dog and cat foods that contain no preservatives, by-products, fillers, sugar or salt. The foods are also quite healthy with price ranging from $70 for a 10-pound bag of Embark to $51 for a 4-pound bag of Prowl Cat Food n include ingredients li...
