In case anyone out there was wondering why, despite the fact that I live alone, there's enough food in my cabinets and freezer to feed me for a month, take a look at my family's cabinets.  I'm convinced that if my dad and stepmother were trapped for three months in their house, between the cabinets and the freezer, they'd be just fine.  Here's my (one measly) cupboard, for comparison.  Clearly, I've picked up the same habit.
