What's On Hand as of January, 2009

See my explanation of "What's on Hand." (and I have a problem with little moths in my pantry, so I store a lot of grain products in my freezer that most would have in their pantry.) Looking at my list below, I realized a few things: (1) no one else is going to read this whole list but me, (2) I have a tendency to hoard things that I get at specialty stores, like our food co-op pr the Chinese grocery store, because I get there so seldom--this is not a good tendency, (3) I've managed to create quite a stockpile on a modest budget since I never buy extra of anything unless it's on sale--and I NEVER pay full price for meat, bread, and a few other things, (4) I should be able to create a nice cushion in our budget because I won't need to buy much in the coming months other than perishable foods. This is not perfectly organized and does not include spices, open bottles of vinegars/oils, flour/sugar in canisters, etc.....
