For the past few months, I've been challenging myself to eat all of the food in my apartment before going to the grocery store. I realized I had three jars of pasta sauce, mounting cans of soup, and plenty of pickles to survive on for at least, well, maybe three days; why would I need to spend money on groceries with all of this delicious-ness? As it turns out, the food left in my apartment was able to take me a few months, although pasta and soup quickly got old, especially in the summer. I finally caved and stocked up on groceries today. I learned a nice lesson about getting creative with what's in my pantry, though, which I suppose is the silver lining to weeks of granola, pasta, and rice 'n soup meals.
