The Spice Shelves
23/9/18 12:05Having rooted around fruitlessly one day this week for my vanilla (and finally going to buy more at the currently insane prices) I of course discovered half a bottle. Which moved me to clear out the three shelves above the stove where bottled condiments and spice jars to large to fit in my spice drawer live.
Lessons learned:
• I really don't need to buy broth cubes of any flavor for a long while.
• I have at least a decade's worth of various sprinkles and cake decoration stuff, all of which is going away because I'm not sure of the shelf-life of dragees (those little silver balls) is, but I'm sure 10 years is pushing it.
• I must have stopped using artificial flavorings some years ago, because there were a couple of bottles of stuff that had simply evaporated.
• Consolidation is a good thing.
I wish I were more organized about this sort of stuff, but at my august age I think it is wisdom to simply shrug and admit that I'm not.
