"Eggs can be kept outside the fridge UNTIL they are refridgerated. But once you put them in the fridge (or the store did), in the fridge they must stay. So I would throw those out after an outage."

I used to live up north (the Northwest Territories) and I encountered many people that did not keep their eggs in the fridge. It was really strange to me, and even though it was room temperature in the house the eggs retained their normal shelf life.

I think it'd be crazy to throw out all of those things -- they're shelf stable (preservatives, people!) and should be totally fine. A lot of people don't refrigerate those condiments even after opening, as other commenters have noted. I would still toss the mayo, personally, but it would be a shame to get rid of things like mustard, which are actually 100% shelf-stable. They only contain stable ingredients, remember. :)

I only have a 9x13 and an 8x8, and I'm never left wanting for another casserole dish. Though models with lids (especially oven-safe ones) would be really very nice.

@ks sunflower:

As far as I can tell, most of the renos on here (and apartment therapy) are very appropriate for renters. It's more common, actually, in my experience.

To me, this is a good price for a very nice kitchen reno -- especially new appliances, cabinetry, etc. Beautiful.
