How Do You Know What's In Your Pantry? I often times find myself making decisions about what I'm going to make for myself and my fiancee at work before I go home, and then stop at the store for any needed supplies on the way. Granted this is not always the most efficient way of doing it, but it does have a couple of advantages:


Our schedules are often times unpredictable, and its hard to plan meals more than a day in advance.
I can always ensure the freshness of ingredients.


That small thing aside, there are certain things that are fairly standard, which I can never remember if I currently have in the pantry or refrigerator.  Do I have enough fresh garlic in the house? Lemons? What spices do I have in the spice rack?

It would be really nice if I could look online somewhere to see what I have in my pantry right now. Does anyone know of a good internet site for managing your current pantry, that might also have a system for managing our favorite recipes?  I'm thinking it might be worth the effort to manage my pantry online for the ability to check on it at work for this reason.

Does anyone else face a similar problem, and what have you come up with to solve it?
We are not very high tech in our kitchen, but we cook a lot.  We keep a fairly standard inventory and when we use the last of an item - it goes on the "List".  We buy that item at the big shopping trip once a week.
