Old Mother Hubbard ...

So it turns out Go Organic Task #1 of cleaning out the cupboards wasn't ask tasking as I thought it might be.

We generally eat quite well, if not completely organic: I shop from the bulk bins for fanciful grains like buckwheat groats and quinoa. Canned beans, Wheatabix, solid white canned tuna (fish can't technically be labeled "organic" anyway) and a couple jars of curry sauce made the cut to stay in the cabinent, along with baking supplies like whole wheat flour and baking soda. While not "organic" I chose to keep the Cranberry Mustard and mandarian orange slices ... no sense in throwing away perfectly good food. They are "all natural" anyway ... baby steps. I even found a box of organic couscous and tabouli buried behind the crap. Score one for the organic cleaning team.

It's helpful that Marc was gone for the day when I started this chore, so he couldn't talk me into keeping that super-sized box of instant oatmeal we've had hanging around for the past 5 years. The fridge is where I really cleaned up - chocolate syrup, imitation maple flavored syrup, teriyaki sauce (the second ingredient is HFCS - who knew?), Miracle Whip, Russian salad dressing (for those once a year veggie Ruebens I like to make. I'm sure there's an organic version out there).

The Angelo cabinents are on their way to getting "clean" ... and are at least well organized now.

Go Organic Task #2 ... go shopping.
