There’s a huge stereotype among single men. One peek into their fridge or pantry, and you’ll find a whole lot of nothing, besides a six-pack of beer and a couple of boxes of dry pasta.
In the past, I have written quite extensively about the horrors of men’s interior design sensibilities. Navy blue bed sheets, bare walls, Ikea furniture from your college days are all home decor faux pas in my book. And that’s just surface-level.
Women are nosy. We peek into your medicine cabinets, rifle through drawers and rip open shower curtains to survey your shampoo bottles. I’ve taken many a gander into a fridge and pantry and have been shocked by the lack of sustainable foods, condiments and shelf-stable goods. (Not to mention, quite disappointed in their lack of snackable items.)
It’s time to look into your pantry and find out what it’s missing. Do you have a fancy bag of coffee beans with which you can make your beloved a superior cup of joe in the morning? Or a premium bottle of olive oil made from cold-pressed olives for when you need to whip up a homemade salad dressing? Or a jar of raw, antioxidant-rich honey you can drizzle across a bowl of Greek yogurt or add to your nightly tea for a touch of warm sweetness? These are all necessary items you, a grown man, should have stocked in your pantry. They are also all items readily available at Flamingo Estate.
