New Excuses

So I'm getting a little bit tired of explaining to people who drop by why we have food scattered all over the house (not to mention it seems to really gross them out), so I think we need a new story.  Possible ideas:

1.  The canned green beans are afraid of the dark and the jars of salsa didn't want to be left behind

2.  This year for Thanksgiving we decided to decorate the entire house to look like a really big cornucopia.

3.  I saw decorating with jars on Martha Stewart and decided to take it one step further.

4.  It's for a play-at-home version of Iron Chef

5.  I just love grocery shopping so much that I wanted my home to look like Fred Meyer.

6.  Serious "munchies."

7.  We were expecting a LOT more trick-or-treaters.

8.  It makes it easier to use the pantry for games of hide-and-seek.

9.  We're taking inventory for tax purposes

10.  We've decided to jump right past the "lived-in" look and go straight to the "battle for survival" look.

The canned green beans excuse sounds plausible. That's exactly how I know the green beans to behave around here. As for the salsa jars, I don't really have that much experience with them but I suppose anything goes with salsa so yes, I'd believe you. :-))

I thought it was really fascinating that all the stuff scattered about actually fit in your pantry. And then you tell me you threw a lot away. Truly amazing.

I am now afraid to unload _any_ of my cabinets.
