My spices and I have been in a constant battle ever since I started cooking. The more spices I would acquire the more brutal the war. This has been going on for years!
I could never decide on the optimal way to store my spices. At first, they were banned to a corner of a cabinet shelf. Delicately stacked upon one another, waiting to collapse whenever called upon. Once they outgrew that space, I began piling them into plastic shoe boxes - all smashed together and discombobulated. Then I moved and was able to dedicate an entire kitchen drawer to my partners in crime. While I was relieved to have a designated space, the different shapes and sizes made organization impossible. What was a girl to do?!?
Finally - while acquiring supplies for my latest jamming & canning session, I discovered that my beloved canning jar came in a smaller 4 oz size! For a brief moment, I raced through my long list of spices and pondered if this size could be the answer to my prayers. With frenzy I snatched up every case of jars the store had! I had no clue if this was going to work, but I had to try dammit!
With trusty label maker in hand, I began the arduous task of relocating each spice to its new home.
The result...
Sweet Victory!!!
I am relieved to declare that the battle has ended! Look at them all neatly aligned, clearly labeled and awaiting all my flavoring needs. It almost brings a tear to one's eye.
While it may have taken years, with patience and perseverance, in the battle of the spices, Healthy Hoff wins!
Keep Calm & Spice On!
The Hoff
