shopping list - the organization of the kitchen.?
I organize my grandmothers kitchen / pantry. Currently has 6 locations to keep food and never know them, and I do not buy food for her, knowing she has 10 boxes of what we simply can not find or do not remember where they are or she swears it is not. Keeps others in a cubbard in the house - some in the garage, some on the island and some in the basement of the pantry. Today I went and wrote all you have-(has a list) .. Are there websites I can put all the ingrediants I have in my kitchen and it will give me some recipes with these issues or something? Any ideas on how I rearrange everything? I think as Jellies / Jams in one area, Canned vegetables in another .. Things were so out of hand, asked me to buy more than gelatin, the other day and I found today seriosuly-18 jars of jam in cubbards different! The kitchen becomes a nightmare for her, and she has memory problems as ...
As may be time to organize kitchen, let's start step by step. We invite you to write me for details. 1. Expiration dates and a pot of food / C was opened on dates unknown. Throw 2. Place vs. various goods on the island = heavy and frequently used light = closet and frequently used underground garage pantry = = Rarely used durables and household goods (eg detergents) 3. Use "Images" as a means to help the economy of Memory: Take the top of the food containers / pot to make a list of windows and put in each cabinet door. In this way, she knows what is in each place to watch list door. Or consult the manufacturer's website to print the logo / brand. Then you can make a nice graphical list with Microsoft PowerPoint. Next to the door of each closet. 4. Site looking for a recipe ingredient search http://allrecipes.com - (My favorite because it comes with commentary) http://www.recipeland.com http://home.ivillage.com/cooking/recipes/recipefinder - (Details ex. Breakfast or lunch, regional cuisine, etc. ..) 5. Use the program list and shopping list to the store http://www.grocerysurf.com - input of all things that his grandmother is in the office (to be added to the shopping list and throw them in the closet) and get the printable pantry list with notes indicating the location of each item. 6. (Optional) Keep a kitchen cupboard empty. Every time you open a jar of Grandma or a package of food, ask to put in the closet. Thus, the system is not broken you have for her, and she does not feel forced or obliged to follow all the rules. Sometimes older people can be very stubborn. The last thing we want is to see the situation disorganized again. So give it a flexible space, if you think it's a good idea.
