The other day when I was organizing my canning supplies, I ran across the little collection of small, old glass medicine bottles I have, and had totally forgotten about. They were my aunts from way back when, and were passed to me when she moved into an assisted living facility several years ago. I decided they would make perfect spice bottles, so my project for yesterday, after washing them all, was to fill and label them. To economize, I generally bulk purchase my herbs and spices, either through my co-op or local health food store. Consequently, even though I always intended to organize them in some way (I do have a small spice rack to keep some in, but not all), they were usually kept as a jumbled, convoluted mess of little tied baggies tossed in a heap in in a container in the cupboard. Often, searching for any one thing in particular was a production in itself, heh -- and, if I'd forgotten to label them, well, you can imagine the guessing game that could turn out to be. Depending on them as I do for all my scratch cooking, you would think I'd have taken care of this long ago -- but, now that they are finally properly bottled and labeled, finding what I need at any given time should be much easier......
