Dust, sort, dump, mix, make a small container from a larger one so I don’t have to open the drawer.
Originally had a different spice rack. I built the drawer section to compensate for its inadequacies. I then built the shelving unit from leftover fence boards from a handyman gig. It was really nice to finally have a spice rack that was large enough.
Most of the herbs are grown by me so they cost practically nothing. Really need to step up my seed game.
Get in there and clean it. It doesn’t take that long. This was overdue. It was jam-packed and now I have some room to breathe.
Someone had moved out and I just kind of added their spices to my collection. So I had like four things of ground ginger. I use ground ginger a lot because I make switchel. But when I opened up each one and smelled it, there was one that could definitely go. I found my missing nutmeg pods. I found my missing nutmeg grinder. So I get to wash that up and stop using powdered for a lot of things like butternut squash soup.
It’s not just about the cleaning. It’s about finding ideas.
