Spice Whore

First, yesterday for The Hubby went wonderfully well.  He is happy!  No more frowning...

Now, on to what I did yesterday.  I think maybe the pictures will say all but I will explain.  I decided to clean out the pantry.  I am a spice whore, syrup whore, brown sugar whore, etc, you get the picture.  No, well let me show you. 

Sorry about the non-flash use.  I was having a hard time in the small space trying to capture the chaos.





There was so much crap in there that I had run out of room for the canned goods I bought, hence the need to clean.




I had multiples of everything.  The lemon extract is for my famous White Fruitcake which takes 2 ounces per batch and sometime it is hard to find.  Keeps forever though, at least a few years, unlike the multitude of baking powder cans that had dates like 1998.  And here I complained about Daddy's pantry.  Geez!
 



Much, much better.  I had 13 bags of brown sugar, 3 of which had not been open.

Wow! I thought I had accumulated the MOST kitchen stuff when I was cleaning up to move to Hawaii, but no... you win. You must feel wonderful!
