I decided to clean out my spice cupboard. I was never able to find what I needed. And often times I would go to the store to buy a spice, dried herb, or extract only to find a month later that I already had it.
Here is a treasure! I'm not sure how old this is but I'm guessing over 12 years old. I think my mother bought this.
I found doubles and triples of many items including; cumin (3), garlic salt (2), crushed red pepper (2), Cajun seasoning (2), ground ginger (2), Bell's seasoning (2).
And things that I will never ever use. Like steak seasoning.
Then there were things that were as hard as a rock...and they were meant to be shakeable. Like rimmers for drinks, seasoning for popcorn, and general seasonings.
Trash, trash, and more trash!
A nice wipe down of the shelving.

It's such a good feeling to get all of that stuff organized, isn't it?? Which reminds me, my spice cabinet is looking pretty bad itself....
Such a liberating feeling! Whenever Kyle and I are up for a move, he freaks out about lugging spices around, but I would refuse to part with them. Finally on this last cycle I did a purge, and it was fantastic. Nothing better than feeling organzined!
I hope you kept the allspice! My friends tease me for being a spice hoarder because I have SO many in the kitchen. I try to clean them out every six months and toss things that are expired but you need sooo many kinds when you cook from scratch every day.
