Day 1.261: Good evening Mrs Hubbard

As you can see, our pantry is completely bare. We spent a good part of the day...well actually it wasn't that good...we spent a significant part of the day doing battle with the Indian Meal Moth. They infest dried food stuffs, doing no real harm except for the freakout factor - which, when you are emptying all the packets out of the cupboard, is considerable.

Anyway, much of our previously-pantry-stored food is now in the freezer where we're told any existing eggs, larvae or moths that escaped our notice will die - hopefully the food will mostly survive. A few things have been in the microwave (for the same reason) and the obviously affected stuff is in the bin ready to be collected in the morning. As long as it works, it will have been time well spent.
