Works for Me Wednesday: The Spicerack

I keep my spices in 2 separate cabinets: the salty side and and the sweet side. All of the spices are arranged in alphabetical order. This makes my life so much easier and really works for me!! ‘Nuf said!! Off to Annapolis I go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don’t forget to check out Rocks in My Dryer, the Queen of Works for Me Wednesday! For some reason I can't get blogger to link to Shannon right now. But she's over in my blog list.

At Wed May 24, 05:06:00 AM, Nettie said...: I do that, too! The sweet ones are in a cupboard near my "baking center", the savory ones are in the cupboard near my cook top. I don't alphabatize, though. Wow!

It sounds nutty at first--until you realize you have 3 bottles of cinnamon. Then ABC isn't such a bad idea. Supermom...don't feel like a failure, LOL! The way I do sort of arrange mine now is by ethnic type--Italian spices together, Mexican together, Chinese together. Except they don't want to stay together, either. I swear they migrate secretly when the cupboard door is closed. How else to explain how the cilantro ends up back with the sesame seeds?

P.S. I think your site look changed the last time I was here - I love the design!
At Wed May 24, 09:26:00 AM, Gabriela said...: That's a good idea. I am always digging around.

P.S. I love Annapolis! Have a blast.

At Wed May 24, 09:21:00 PM, Anonymous said...: Alphabetical order? C'mon, Michelle... REALLY?
At Thu May 25, 08:08:00 AM, Full Contact, Savior-centric Livin said...: I like this!

Love your "about me" blurb, too. I guess because it's so not me in some ways.
