This weekend The Spice House is having a 10% off promotion. Unfortunately not only was the the spice cabinet (shown above) overflowing, the bedroom and living room spice storage locations were getting crowded.
What to do? I went through my cabinet and found 24 empty or near-empty or ought-to-be-empty bags and jars. Plus a container of arborio rice -- not sure how that happened. What's more I found duplicates and triplicates. This fall I ran out of Aleppo pepper, and ordered a jar from Penzeys. Tonight in the back of the cabinet I found a much larger jar of Aleppo pepper from The Spice House. I moved the empty bottles to the living room and relocated the living room spice collection to the kitchen.
I felt virtuous. Of course in the meantime I spent ninety some dollars at The Spice House. And there's still the matter of the bedroom.
