Spring 2010 Kitchen Cure

Tomorrow is the start of Apartment Therapy's Kitchen Cure for Spring 2010. You sign up to participate (free) and you will receive an email each week with a task you are to accomplish so you can organize your kitchen. It's like a structured spring cleaning for your kitchen. I'm going to do it, will you do it too?

You can go to their site and check it out here.
You get a whole week to accomplish each of the tasks, and I think the first one is going to be the worst- tackling the pantry. Even if you don't have a pantry, you probably still have cupboards that store your canned and boxed food. I can get things in there that don't move for a long, long time.

This is something that I have to do in the school library as well. In the library it's called weeding. I weed out the old, dated, worn, tired, or hasn't-been-checked-out-for-a-decade books. This provides two wonderful results:
1. Room for new stuff.
2. The stuff still there looks better and will now circulate more.

So, go take a look at your cupboards and see if you are up for it!
(The best part- no one will know if you don't do it, don't finish, or don't care!)

Oh man this is a great challenge. I have to do this. I'm the queen of stacking my cupboards full of food, in case of an emergency, but then it goes bad before I know it!

Good post, good challenge!

Sorry that was me. I forgot my sister was signed in on my computer. Whoops.

You have to post pictures! I didn't read this until now so I didn't sign up...but I can still do the challenges. We have lots of random stuff in our pantry...speaking of that, I'm hungry...does snacking count as cleaning out?
