Spices!

I organized my spices yesterday:

And I suspect it will make all the difference! I was just too frustrated having a zillion little baggies with spice in them. It took forever to find anything. And I like the little plastic square containers much more than any of the traditional round spice jars I saw.

I arranged them by genre -- herbs, Indians spices, baking spices -- although Bryan says it would be more useful to organize them alphabetically. I just think that spices get used in certain combinations more often than others, and I might as well have all the spices I need right next to each other rather then having to look up "cinnamon", "ginger", and "cloves" -- better they should be right there.

I mean, generally I'm all for alphabetization, but this is not such a time.
