Watching tv commercials was one of my favorite past times as a child. I think I knew the Old Spice commercials by heart. I thought the bottle was really cool too.
Well, it seems I have a different kind of old spice in my house. I have a cabinet full of old spices. While cooking dinner one evening a couple weeks ago, I decided the overcrowded cabinet had to go. I was tired of looking for spices and not being able to find them.
I threw away a garbage bag full of old spices. Bryan and I have lived in our current house for almost 9 yrs, and there were spices in the cabinet that we brought with us from the other house. There were no dates on the spices, but I knew how long they had been there. I think after 9 years they had lost their flavor.
The most exciting part of cleaning this cabinet is the amount of time it took. I was already in the kitchen making dinner, so why not tackle a cabinet. One cabinet, drawer and shelf at a time here I go!
I recently saw a post about a new spice rack that mounts on the inside of the cabinet door with it’s own bottles. It would free up space in the cabinet and be another space saving feature. These are of course on my dream list from Ikea. It would take more than one of these for all my spices.
