Essential Inventory
As part of my new compulsive need to organize my apartment, I’ve decided I need to make a list of all the essential things I need to keep for cooking and/or entertaining. Since I’m almost done with the bar (yes it’s taken me over two years now), I started a list of what I want to keep on hand as a minimum.
- Vodka
- Vanilla Vodka
- Whiskey (Jack Daniels)
- Whiskey Sour Mix
- Captain Morgan Original
- Captain Morgan Silver
- Root 100 (Root beer liqueur)
- Brandy
- Diet cola
- Root beer
- Orange juice
- Guinness
- Coors Light
- Newcastle Brown Ale
- Killian’s Irish Red
- A Riesling of some sort
It’s a start, I definitely need to polish the list a bit better. Combining this OCD list with my push toward preparing my own meals – not necessarily healthier, but definitely cheaper – naturally leads into making a list of ingredients, condiments, seasonings etc. that I will want to keep in the kitchen.
- Red pepper flakes
- Worcestershire sauce
- Frank’s Red Hot Sauce
- Garlic salt
- Garlic pepper
- Parmesan Cheese
- I started this list tonight so it’s obviously just off the cuff and there’s more I’m missing. I also didn’t list regular salt and pepper because I’m just going to assume they’re given. No sugar in my cooking, at least until I figure out if I need to bother with substitutes (because I’m diabetic). I don’t enjoy baking anyhow.
- I rebooted my Astrid task list on my Droid and now I’m trying to get back in the swing of exercise and productivity. It’s going all right, though I’ve been off my diet for the last few days.
