From time to time one has to get rid of herbs and spices that have long outlived their usefulness. I confess that some of those bottles predated our move to Casa Sammamish six years ago. Julian complained that he was unable to find anything in the spice cabinet. So on New Year’s Day I went on a take-no-prisoners tear. I got a small compostable trash bag and emptied numerous bottles and bags of old herbs and spices into it. So much was discarded that the bag was nearly full.
When Julian surveyed my work, he was amazed. “I can actually find stuff in here!” Of course, that didn’t prevent him from calling me yesterday and asking if we had any five-spice powder in the house. He eventually found it hiding in plain sight.
