Ask your friends what they dislike about their pantry and you’ll likely get “it’s too small” or “I can’t find anything!” I hear these complaints often. Clearly, a pantry takes careful planning.

There are three main types of pantries: cabinets, reach-ins and walk-ins. There is also a hybrid pantry/mudroom/laundry room that the homeowner walks through as they enter the house.

By ALLEN MCQUISTON
The Jemez Agency

Unfortunately it is also one of the fastest growing causes of home fires resulting in millions of dollars in damage and numerous injuries and deaths. But if it’s done correctly and safely, a deep-fried turkey can be a delicious part of your holiday feast.

It moderates the tilt of the earth’s rotational axis which produces fairly constant seasonal changes over millennia. This in turn means once life gets started Read More
