From the New York Times

diner_pantry.jpgSay all the grocery stores shut down. Do you have enough food in the pantry to last a week? The fine folks at eGullet believe you do.

Starting Sunday, eGullet is starting a project called “A Week Without Shopping.” People are encouraged to eat only what’s already in the house, posting their progress, of course.

“The premise is that most middle-class Americans have enough crap in their cupboards and freezers to survive for ages without taking on any new ingredients,” said Steven Shaw, the co-founder of eGullet and author of “Asian Dining Rules” (William Morrow, 2008).

It’s a challenge that combines cooking and economics. Mr. Shaw calculates that if he skips a week of grocery shopping four times a year, he would save 8 to 10 percent on his grocery bill.

He came up with the idea after his own grocery shopping habit was interrupted. Almost every Sunday for years, he has schlepped from the East Side to the West to grocery shop at Fairway with his mother. Recently, he had to cancel. He thought maybe he’d just go on Monday, but he looked around the kitchen and realized the freezer was full and the cabinets had “enough pasta that if we had a nuclear war we could survive,” he said.
