cleaning out the pantry

I have noticed over the past few days, that the population of insects in the pantry was getting out of control. So today was clean out the pantry day. As I type this, I have currently pulled everything off two shelves. The worst shelf was proving a mystery to me. I knew there had to be an insect epicentre somewhere close, yet when I'd pulled everything out and examined it, there was no obvious source. I moved on to the next worst shelf hoping that it might provide some answers. And it did! The little blighters have been laying eggs (or whatever it is they do) in the gap between the shelf and the side of the cupboard. Sprung! Now I just have half a shelf of stuff to pull out and another shelf to remove and nuke. Hurrah!

Oh yes... and I have to assess the freshness of every item and put them all back. I don't suppose leaving that job for someone else would go down so well would it?
