At the movies, at the stadium, at the fair and probably in your pantry … it’s popcorn! Americans consume 16 billion quarts of popped popcorn annually (or a hefty 54 quarts per man, woman and child). Despite its popularity in public places (I’ve been handed free popcorn at countless festivals and even some [...]

Excuse me while I clean the Coke off my keyboard after reading this . Rep. Bachmann used a word picture to describe the offlimits energy supplies in this way: Picture the pantry being full of food and your children wanting to eat. Then picture that the pantry is locked. America has lots of energy but Congress has locked the pantry. Mr. [Pioneer Press reporter Jim] Ragsdale started by saying that he...

We have our own Ceiling Cat at the Aerie. Shadow has taken to lurking and napping atop the pantry cupboard. There she can avoid Chester's inquisitive nature and often roguish behavior. And sometimes she gets up on the main support beam for the second floor and peers down upon us mere mortals. (Okay, she’s not really a Ceiling Cat. That’s the floor for the second floor that’s above her head, although...

Pungent and hot , sweet and fragrant, and sometimes mellow. Spices are the cornerstones of any cuisine. I couldn't dream of having an pantry devoid of, or with a meager amount of spices. Men have traveled thousands of miles in search of lands known for their rich spices. Countries have opened doors for one another, trading these wonderful nature's gifts to mankind. Each spice is unique it in its

"She opened the third door. A squeal of excitement came out of her mouth and startled the listening house. There before her eyes was a little store....The first barrel was nearly full of flour. The second held corn meal. The third had a tight lid, and it was full of pieces of fat, white pork held down in brown brine. Laura had never seen so much salt pork at one time. There was a wooden box full of...

From Ellen, in Austin, Texas: This is our pantry as it really is. No cleanup before picture-time. I have three children and my spouse and I work full-time. The "pantry" doesn't look all that bad in a picture, but sure seems cluttered and difficult to live with in real life. We live in a 1950s ranch house with a REALLY small kitchen. That is why we have so many storage areas. Hope this makes you feel...

My morning was interesting. I finally made it to the food pantry in my neighborhood on the day it was supposed to be open (it is advertized as being open on Friday mornings when in fact, it is open Thursday mornings -- something that I only became aware of after one month of not finding them open followed by careful questioning of several people).
