At new house Momma had a lot of kitchen cabinets for her pantry. This house I now live in had what they called pantry cabinet. It was nice but not a pantry to me.

The freezer, bulky foods, and her home canned goods were kept in the basement.<br /><br />I have no room in my kitchen for food storage - just spices and condiments, but I'm grateful for the spaces in our basement where I keep a stock of all kinds of things.

Yes, it almost seems heretical to remove a bathroom, but the location was so odd that I've always wondered whether it started life as a pantry. It had no door, and was located just off the little entrance from the kitchen to the basement.

I try and keep 25 lbs of sugar, 15 lbs flour both white & whole wheat, 8 lbs coffee, boxes of pasta, cans of tuna & veggies, various juices, plus condiments, syrups and peanut butter. I'm now making all my breads and jellies. There's nothing like going to the basement when I need 'shop' for groceries.Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00099397025386914361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-29458743968593399672013-03-09T09:26:27.125-05:002013-03-09T09:26:27.125-05:00I loved this post!

I always thought that was funny because I probably haven't eaten that much Jell-o in my lifetime but I always see those at the bulk food store. That must be a good "get-together" food. I sure would like to have a pantry like that as well, but we also don't have The imPerfect Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09155280178284448740noreply@blogger.com
