Spice Addiction
Sunday, October 9th, 2005
So for some odd reason, as I awoke at 7:30 to let the mutts out, I decided it was time to clean out the pantry and spice cabinet. I pulled everything out of the pantry and grouped it on the counter, I was amazed at the amount of items we have had since moving to NC a year ago…scary! I also like to hoard baking items…apparently..as I had 4 bags of chocolate chips, numerous dried fruits and plenty or flour…all types! I am ready for any major holiday or natural disaster, which at times may be one in the same 
So I sorted through things we really don’t need and threw it all in a big shopping bag for my poor college sister, hopefully this will diversify her current menu of PB&J’s and Lucky Charms. I did realize that we are not eating as much processed foods, or I should say I am using fewer “meals in the box” like the hugable puffy glove we all grew up with. I am proud of myself for branching out and making things from scratch.
After the pantry was nice and neat I venured to the spice cabinet. I have become a bit of a spice snob, I will only buy from a lady at the flea market, her spices are always fresh and much cheaper than the grocery store. Though I must admit, when Kroger has a 10 for $10 sale on spices, I am tempted to buy a few
After sorting all of the bottle I found that we had 6 bottle of garlic powder! I am totally serious! Some bottles date back to when Evan started college and were now a weird orangey color. We also had an abundance of cinnamon, I hope Steph likes garlic bread and snickerdoodles.
