For those that know me, it'll come as no surprise to you that I like things organized. Part of the fun (yes, to us it's fun) of moving in to our new place was getting to organize everything from scratch: setting up our bookcases, folding everything neatly into the closets, and arranging our spices, baking supplies, and cooking utensils into their neat, non-cluttered new home.
That being said, our pantry does not (AT ALL) look like this one below.
In all likelihood, ours will never look like this (and really, whose does?) but we're determined to keep our pantry organized. While the space we have now is much more carefully set up than in our previous kitchen, we're not finished yet. Currently, we're on the hunt for spice jars that don't take up too much room in the pantry and are wide enough to easily accommodate a tablespoon. We don't want a pre-filled revolving rack, but would prefer individual jars so we can fill them up with our own spices. Tangent time: the Whole Foods in Milwaukee recently stopped having their spices available in bulk...not cool, Whole Foods, not cool. I hate having to spend $8.00 on a jar of a more exotic spice when we only need a teaspoon of it for a specific recipe. I think a lot of people are discouraged from experimenting with new flavors and tastes because of the fact that they'd have to buy a full jar and use so little of it, concluding, in the end, that it wouldn't be worth it at all.
Alright, tangent over.
As we continue to search for the perfect spice jars, here are some inspirations and ideas from around the web. Readers, what do you do? Any solutions to suggest for us?
