On the Washington Post in the Food section, some people talk about going on 'fasts':  they make a commitment not to buy anything at the grocery store until they use up everything in their freeze/cupboards.  Then...

Sorry you're in this predicament.  Some suggestions I have depend on how much trouble you want to cause your un-neighborly neighbor. Have you talked to the neighbor or left a note?  If so, do you get the impression that she...
