Render unto me a collective break: we found the case of chicken broth on the floor south of the microwave card. And I've only just discovered that apparently we now have a *second* pantry downstairs beside the freezer. There's still a bin of dry goods we brought back from the trailer when the camping season ended.
And people wonder why I so seldom delegate tasks...
but there IS, there IS oodles of room. remember, they rented a storage locker to prepare for the arrival of cuyahogarvr and "all his junk priceless family heirlooms", I think the description was.
do you spoze that the chicken broth went to the storage rentalocker?
Well, there are these Magical Places in the U.S. called "grocery stores" where one can obtain all sorts of Wondrous Goodies, as well. I b'lieve I even remember seeing some of them when hangnaildhole and I were in your Canajun environs last summer for our nuptials...
I'm reminded of a how-to-use-your-computer manual, waaay back in the days of 5.25" floppies that really WERE floppy, back in the days of DOS and the A:> prompt, back when you had to load any wordprocessor you might have before you could use it. The manual gave a step-by-step example of writing a grocery list (seen, no doubt, in glorious green-and-grey dot matrix letters on one's CRT monitor) that you could then use a PRINT command to send the text file to the dot-matrix printer. (and you probably lost a pinfeed fanfold sheet of paper both before and after the printed paper by the time you got it out of the printer, too)
I'm not sure how many people used their $6500 XTs to write grocery lists in text files when the time-honoured method of ballpoint or pencil on the back of an envelope worked so much more easily.
the best way - as you found today - to find misplaced groceries is to walk around and look for them with your eyes.
Either that, or never let Rapunzel go away again, for fear of losing control of the inventory.

because you're still in Kirkland Lake Lonely Log Cabin mode and so the idea of more than one place to store food is unthinkable?
