My Store Cupboard

I am always totally amazed by the amout of food in my store cupboards.. I mean, it's not that there's a lot of space for food, I only really have two and a half cupboards to fill. In the blink of an eye, I feel I could rustle up any number of extravagant meals.. Just off the top of my head, allow me to introduce you to a sneak-peak 'through my drawers' so to speak... :o)

Oh gosh, I'm starting to feel sick, the list is endless and I haven't even made it into the kitchen. Suffice to say that most of it falls out of the cupboards every time I open them ! I sometimes think that I should use everything that I have in my cupboards, and then start again.. but life doesn't really happen like that does it ? All I can say, is if you're ever in need of a meal, you know where to come...
