Didn't we have an entire thread devoted to organizing spices way back when?
I'm velcroing them all the the inside of my cabinet right now.

Also, I swapped everything in my kitchen so now the food is in the cabinets and the dishes and everything that's not food is in the pantry. It's actually kind of nice bc D never puts anything in the right place, so now at least the wrong place is still in the right cabinet.... but the spices are going in here too because I can't handle everyone leaving the door open and ruining them all (bc hello bright morning sun beating down on them and making them all hard) and there's nowhere else to put them that's not in direct sunlight or in the way.

Omg so I don't think this is even going to work. Damn Alton Brown. I used to like him.

Apparently I made this up. I should change the title and just make this my thread where I can talk to myself all day long.

Sorry I apparently needed a nap today.
I've been keeping mine in drawers. I really want to place a massive order with Penzey's and replace all of my grocery store ones with theirs.

I love penzeys but I stopped buying it because I was using my spending money and D ruins them all. So Ive started refilling their jars with ALDI spices.

I need to improve my spice collection. I'm running on a bare minimum of grocery store spices. 😕
Maybe I'll ask for Penzey's for Xmas this year.

I used to love Alton Brown, but he can be such a dick. I remember him saying something on Iron Chef America about all salt coming from the sea, and I've never seen him the same way since.

He went to culinary school in the town where I live, so he comes through here for book tours and such and yeah, he's a bit of an ass. I used to hate him for it, but I've since realized that he's an ass in the same way that many chef's are asses, so meh. But he does not in fact know everything culinary like he pretends to.

I have a built-in slice shelf and it is glorious. It's a cabinet insert that fits all my little bottles and swings out with space for bigger stuff behind. I am currently working on replacing any plastic bottles with the square glass ones from Trader Joe's or similar.
