Time to Snoop

I have already received some responses regarding what you want to see pictures of about me and the world around me.

First up is Cate from Show My Face (@showmyface).  Cate wants to see my linen closet and vegetable drawer.

Well Cate, we have two linen closets: one that we use and one that is in a little less than usable shape.  I may have mentioned that I am organized before...well this is a good example.  The top shelf is for small stuff in boxes, the middle two for towels and sheets, the next has extra stuff and a few random things like that Hannah Montana game that Chris got in him mystery box.  The bottom I put stuff we rarely use like the air mattress and iron.  Yeah, I hate to iron that we go wrinkly most days.


Linen closet two is just about a foot wide and totally unfinished.  We put a new door on it so it would look nice on the outside but we are at a lose on what to do with it inside.  It is really deep, like almost 3 feet deep and surrounded by stuff you can't exactly drive nails into (electrical, furnace, and chimney.)  So for now it has exactly what was in it when we purchased the house, along with a few new cobwebs and bugs.  You are really lucky I even braved opening the door for a picture.  Yuck!


I am a little embarrassed to show you my vegetable drawers this week due to their shocking lack of vegetables.  All I have to say about that is that Thursday is Farmers Market day and I might have to show you again when it is actually stocked.  One drawer is for veggies, fruit, and anything that can't spill onto veggies and fruit (thus the hot dogs and sausage.)  That sausage has been in there a while, we should really cook that up for breakfast soon.  If I had taken this picture before dinner you would have found some broccoli and four green beans from my garden in there too.


My second veggie drawer isn't used for veggies at all.  (I like veggie better than vegetable...I don't know why.)  My deli  drawer is stocked with insulin for my diabetic husband so I kind of use this drawer for deli stuff and whatever else will fit to get it out of the way.  Since my husband is having trouble getting around I got him stuff to make breakfast and lunch a little easier (precooked turkey sausage, and stuff for sandwiches)that thankfully he can make on his own.  That chocolate is left over from Christmas.  I didn't realize it had been in there that long until I was writing this up.  I think that some bakes treats might be in order.  

So there you have it, a little glimpse into my world.

Since my veggie drawers are so pathetic and I have been looking to try new vegetables as part of my life list I would love some suggestions of what to look for at the Farmers Market to try out next.  What is the weirdest vegetable you like?

  1. I didn't know they made Andes baking chips. Mmmmm... Oh, the brownies I could make with those! We also have grapes in our veggie drawer, which Joe needs to eat because after my fruit debacle last week, I'm now afraid.

    That second linen closet is interesting. I think your best bet is going to be plastic bins for sure. You might even be able to put one of those narrow laundry carts in the bottom, or a shoe rack with either more bins or big things like shampoo, toilet paper, etc. It's pretty creepy though, I agree.

    Thanks for letting me stalk you! I mean, umm, snoop!
