Sun, 07 Sep 2008 13:19:03 -0400 Hi readers, Me again, for the last time: I've wrapped up the experiment, and the final story was published in today's paper. If you'd like to read it, here's the link: http://hamptonroads.com/2008/05/and-finally-one-bloggers-cabinets-are-bare Thank you so much for reading -- I've enjoyed this experiment (as much as one can, eating canned peas) and thank you so much for following along. http://hamptonroads.com/2008/05/goodbye-readers Sun, 11 May 2008 08:30:12 -0400 As someone who has gone on and on (and on and on) about her cabinets being full of nonperishables, I find it necessary to tell you about a wonderful fundraiser coming up this weekend. Not only can you help the needy, you can use the opportunity to see what "repeat" items you have in your cabinets and determine what you can spare to give away. http://hamptonroads.com/2008/05/stamp-out-hunger-and-clean-out-those-cabinets Thu, 08 May 2008 23:43:43 -0400 With the final article of this experiment set to print this Sunday -- and with next to nothing in my kitchen -- I set out for Harris Teeter this morning, ready to do some damage. I was going to shop like I hadn't shopped since 2007. I was going to go down those forbidden aisles, browse the frozen food section, ponder the purchase of a can or two. And I was tickled. http://hamptonroads.com/2008/05/shopping-day Wed, 07 May 2008 19:53:32 -0400 The final story updating this experiment will run on Sunday, May 11, in the Gracious Living section. P.S. I ate my very last packet of oatmeal this morning! http://hamptonroads.com/2008/05/correction Fri, 02 May 2008 01:05:47 -0400 So very sorry for my disappearance. The experiment is wrapping up, and I will write a final article for May 7th's newspaper. I hope you'll check it out to see what I've learned and how it went. But for those curious, I still have not gone "real" grocery shopping. Soon. Soon. Soon. http://hamptonroads.com/2008/04/be-continued Fri, 25 Apr 2008 15:13:34 -0400 Two things to report today: http://hamptonroads.com/2008/04/soon-be-pastaless Mon, 14 Apr 2008 17:06:19 -0400 I looked at the tuna noodle casserole as I was packing my dinner the other day and felt sick. I thought, "Well, I'll skip a day of it and eat something from the cabinet." But all I found were soups and it was nearing 80 degrees outside. There also was a box of whole wheat spaghetti but I didn't have time to cook. And there was nothing else to eat! http://hamptonroads.com/2008/04/couldnt-do-it Sat, 12 Apr 2008 10:24:15 -0400 Five more days of this quasi tuna noodle casserole? It may be the end of me (or this experiment). http://hamptonroads.com/2008/04/not-gonna-happen Wed, 09 Apr 2008 22:06:04 -0400 The freezer is finally empty! (With the exception of -- and, come on, can it really be counted? -- one more box of Popsicles that I am trying to dig through, gummy as they are.) http://hamptonroads.com/2008/04/just-me-and-popsicles-here Tue, 08 Apr 2008 13:52:33 -0400 Over the past two days, I've taken the time to prep some healthy meals for work: salmon and sweet potato and, yesterday, salmon, corn and lima beans. Thus, I officially have cleared my freezer of salmon! And the frozen corn! And cleared my cabinet of the last can of lima beans! http://hamptonroads.com/2008/04/yum-icecrystalcovered-corn Fri, 04 Apr 2008 11:55:13 -0400
