Pantry Situation💥 YAY or NAY? What I store in my pantry vs fridge varies on how fast I move through the items and the quantities I have at the time. I typically buy nuts and seeds in bulk. I store what I’ll eat in the upcoming weeks or months in the pantry and the rest in the fridge/freezer. If they’re not stored properly, they‘ll go rancid or stale quickly. 🌰 Here are some general rules I follow: • Use air-tight containers. • Whole nuts keep better than chopped nuts. • Raw nuts spoil faster than roasted. • Nuts absorb odors, keep them away from smelly foods like onions. • Light and heat cause nuts to spoil faster. • Store at room temp for 3 months, fridge for 6 months and freezer for a year. • Label containers with the date of purchase to keep track of which to consume first. 🌰 If you have fridge or freezer space I would recommend popping them in there to keep them fresh so you don’t have to worry about any food going to waste🌿 Everything here is stored in a cool dark place but in the interest of sharing a photo where you can see everything, I shot this in a bright area of my kitchen!

there’s no shame in admitting that none of us have any concept of how big a whale is

Once in the 3rd grade, we were learning about marine life. The material we were reading said that baby blue whales are around 50 feet long when they’re born. Our teacher stopped, realizing that a bunch of 8-9 year olds had no actual concept of how big that was, so she took us all out to the schoolyard with a tape measure. Now this tape measure only went up to 10 feet, so she had to mark off 5 total 10 foot increments. And when she was done, standing 50 feet away from us, she yelled back “And this is only a baby! Can you imagine how big adult blue whales are?” And let me tell you, the stunned, profound silence that came from this group of 12 normally chatty children still haunts me to this day. Every time I think about how big whales are, I remember that spring day in the 3rd grade.
