We came home from a lovely weekend away to a full-blown ant invasion. They weren’t just crawling—they were conquering. What began as an unwelcome infestation quickly turned into a chance to rethink our storage strategies, meal routines, and even that eternal pantry debate: to decant or not to decant?

Mentioned in this episode:

* The surprising flaws in our “out of sight, out of mind” snack basket system

* Our zones-based kitchen organization system

* The shift from snack-stocking to whole-food planning

* The value—and maintenance—of decanting

Plus: a special shoutout to TERRO ant bait (call me, maybe?).
