Working on this project each year has been beneficial to me. Of course, it's truly only my 2nd full year doing it, but I am enjoying it. Last year worked out perfectly because I was able to spread out the entire house over the course of the year. So, now with the new year underway, I am back in the kitchen.
This week I have been focusing on the cabinets that I keep food in. First, I started with my spice cabinet. I moved some things around so that all of the spices were on the same level, which will be more convenient to me for cooking purposes. They are a little more spread out and so I can find things easier. I ended up throwing out about 10 spices that were old. Oh, well. I made a list so that I can restock them as needed. And of course, when I was planning on making shrimp salad today, I had thrown out my old bay seasoning. I did pick some up at the store this morning, so it worked out just fine.
This evening, I organized the food cabinets. I like putting similar items together. Of course, it won't stay looking this neat for long, but for the moment I'm very happy with it. I only had to toss a few things, which I was pretty surprised at. But my losses are the squirrels' gains. Except for the self-rising flower. I didn't think they would enjoy that too much. Maybe they would but I didn't want to risk it just in case the self-rising flour caused a strange reaction, and they ballooned up or something. And it was almost 3 years old. I don't use it very much and can't remember why I had it. Anyway, it's all gone now!
So, I am enjoying this process yet again. As you can tell, I love my domestic chores! It's the little things in life.
That is all.
