At least not more than...Awwww, you're NOT OCD. At least not more than any other gardener. <br /><br />Hoarding food? Many, many people do that. It's called "pantry management". If you buy a home built prior to 1960 you will probably have a pantry. I wouldn't know what to do without one. But people who don't have one end up storing food in odd places, like under beds and in the back of closets. One of the things I love about having a pantry IS that I have an extra of just about everything. I don't have to waste gas making a run to the grocery store if I decide to make some unplanned dish. And I can, like you, buy most of my stuff on sale, thus lowering my grocery bill. <br /><br />If you want to feel like our early American ancestors felt right before Thanksgiving, just go to your pantry and survey it. Your family will not be hungry this winter, even if you can't, because of some weather or health event, get out to the store. Our ancestors didn't have the convenience of being able to run to the store. But when you've got a full pantry, that makes running in to the store pretty INconvenient. <br /><br />When I interviewed for the job I had at a work facility for the mentally disabled, I was asked whether I would be uncomfortable around people with mental disabilities and I said, "why should I?" Everyone is disabled in some way. It's just a matter of degree."<br /><br />You are fine. Hugs XOXOXORockWhispererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04204125716550161500noreply@blogger.com
