They laughed at my jar-hoarding ways. WHO'S LAUGHING NOW, EH?

Next, sort and file spices. This may entail Buying Furniture.

It's not all fun and maple-pecan candy, being a domestic goddess, you know :)

ETA: I keep meaning to post this - we have a gorgeous hand-made wooden breadbox we inherited from Ian's grandfather, which we don't use for bread because bread we can't see turns out to be bread we don't remember we have, and it goes nasty.

A few months ago I put it next to the stove for spices I use several times a week and want to hand at all times, but would like somewhat protected against steam, light, etc. Works like a charm; if you have a similar heirloom pining away in your kitchen I commend this approach.

ETA II: When I was in Madison I was discussing with [profile] naughty_aelf and [personal profile] chaotic_nipple our personal brand of survivalism/disaster preparedness, which is of the 'able to help look after our neighbours and neighbourhood' variety rather than the 'head out into the wilds alone' type. This is *my* society, dammit. It built me, then I helped build it, and I don't plan to abandon it.

I have beans, grains, dried veggie flakes, and a lot of spices. The menu might get a little boring, but we can probably run a decent soup kitchen off the bbqs as long as the propane and wood hold out. :-)

(note to self: find source of bulk dried onion, garlic, celery)
