No, I’m in Michigan. I’ve never seen a pantry like it but it’s a good design! It feels like a secret room.

Is it an east coast thing? I don’t think I have seen it in MI, but you make it sound like something I want.

Good question, ha! My mom’s only ever lived in Washington state and my impressions as a young snob were that it was a bread from when people couldn’t get raising agents or proper sugar or proper ovens. I’m gonna look it up now though.
ETA - sounds like it originated from “thirded” bread recipes being common at the time of early colonialization of the now New England area.
ETA2 that bundt brown bread is just all wrong. It only tastes right made in a coffee can hahaha

We used to sell a lot of pantries like yours, but now people tend to prefer wide rollouts instead of having to open it all up. They hold a lot, you’re lucky to have it.

Fridge, fridge door, freezer.
Those small margarine containers in the freezer are chicken stock, butter chicken sauce and pulled pork. The zip locks are frozen spinach, sauté onions, roast peppers, roast tomatoes, and chicken breast strips.

Is there sorbet in your fridge???

there is a container of walnuts that at one point was a sorbet.
They were such a convenient sized container, I’m sad I only have two left.
(I also have never bought margarine - the fridge ones have tomato slices, peanut sauce, cranberry sauce, and a defrosting pulled pork.)

I was wondering if you were softening it before eating or something? 
nuts makes much more sense.
You’re one of those houses you visit and never know what food you’ll find inside stuff, aren’t you? my parents always had all their leftovers in unlabeled margarine containers. Such a crap shoot what you’ll open up!

freezer margarines are labeled except for chicken stock (and once in a while coconut milk, but that is obviously not chicken stock), fridge is assumed self-evident.

This is my house, too. Also canning jars in the freezer, but at least you can see through those. But leftovers go in yogurt containers most of the time.

I lied about the sorbet.
These ones are raisins and brown sugar.
Eta, don’t worry about the low level of rice and flour (yes, there is a lot of panko, that was a surprise to me too when it arrived, I didn’t know there was an option to get such a large box)
But where is the shadowy one’s coke zero and your other drinks?
