Organizing food


Okay. So I know this sounds boring to men. But women are addicted to looking at other women's houses and seeing how things are organized. I had a system at my house down to labeled cabinets. I pinned things on pinterest when I looked into buying a boat. It's a thing.
I have not actually organized my food locker yet. It's a mess in there. It's impossible to organize because of it's shape as far as I can see now. But I may talk my husband into building me cubbies that fit like a puzzle against the back wall to make it easier.
Anyways... I was just tossing things in when we moved on board. But it got crazy quickly and my husband wanted baskets. So we found nesting baskets to put stuff in. Then I discovered that while they make it easier to compartmentalize some things... they do not work for everything. And things get lost behind them. And they are a hassle to take out when I want things on the bottom. But I am still using them.
Then, we found cockroaches. Quick google search and people swear they love cardboard. So my list of to-dos today went out the window. I sat there today and put everything in ziploc bags and wrote directions for those box side dishes or meals or anything on the bag and tossed the boxes. Then I took the papers off cans after writing what is inside the cans. Hope this helps.
I still have cardboard items on the boat. But it should take me like half an hour tomorrow to redistribute these items.
For those curious... here is my food locker.

Still Here

We are still here, living on the boat.
And blogger has an app! Just figured this out. I am a real genius, aren't I?
Well, I promise more and better blogs in the future.
