Battle of Mice and Moths, pt. 1

Mori: THE HEAT IS RETURNED UNTO US! HUZZAH!

Me and Biff descended upon the cabinets like a tidy tornado. We emptied, scrubbed, and container-ed three of the six cabinets. It took us roughly... four hours or so? (There is also the kitchen table and door rack to do. And the fridge, but the fridge is a problem for Future People, since it is already mouse/moth-proof.)

The baking cabinet was especially harrowing. Pretty sure we found both the Ark of the Covenant and Jimmy Hoffa back there, not to mention a LOT of bugs and multiple copies of expired food. (There were THREE different containers of honey.) On the plus side, we also were able to find some more containers to clean and put future food in, and put the (toxic, NOT TO BE EATEN) essential oils NOT in a food cabinet. The baking cabinet is now a glory to behold, instead of a mothwebbed horror.

GLORY!

Huzzah! Glory! Clean cabinets!

The fun thing about honey is that it doesn't really expire! They've found 5000-year old honey in Egyptian tombs that is still perfectly good to eat.

I've been engaged in my own version of this over the past two weeks or so, and I need to go finish it up.

Be careful - the honey discourse goes deep...

We threw out the mystery honey. It was... concerning. Also, one roomie regularly tours at honey farms and gets big jars as thank yous, so this house certainly ain't hurting for honey; there's at least three containers left.
