Cleared out my food cupboards

Found an awful lot of stuff.

Now I need to plan on how to use this lot up. Over the last couple of months we've moved to eating far more fresh food, for me much more of it raw or barely cooked. But the time has come to spend less cash and eat the cupboards. Well - maybe not that literally :-)

So here comes the list, basically in the order they were found. Some parts of my cupboards are organised, others not so (although all these re in trays and boxes bottoms). I'm seeking ideas for recipes for any of these. Recipes may well end up on the Reading and Recipes blog (see 'Other Blogs' to the right)

Gosh - rather lot of stuff. Sorry about the lack of order. I've yet to look in the freezer or fridge fully (although we tend to empty those regularly so I'm not worrying about any of that going uneaten for more than a few weeks - hee hee). I have another cupboard to go through - its where we keep all the tea, coffee, and other things.....
