Dust, sort, dump, mix, make a small container from a larger one so I don't have to open the drawer.

Originally had a different spice rack. I built the drawer section to compensate for its inadequacies. I then built the shelving unit from leftover fence boards from a handyman gig. It was really nice to finally have a spice rack that was large enough.

Most of the herbs are grown by me so they cost practically nothing. Really need to step up my seed game.

Get that McCormick out of there, then you can rebuild.

    The only McCormick is the picking spice and it has been replaced with a home made blend in the original bottle.

    Have you looked at their lemon pepper seasoning recently? Doesn't contain any actual lemon.

    'Have you looked at their lemon pepper seasoning recently? Doesn't contain any actual lemon. '

    Sounds on program for them. Heh. I wasn't trying to harsh you, I know sometimes spice collections are inherited and we aren't going to throw out something handed down from our elders.

    Or, maybe you are like me and you hold onto a nasty tube of garlic powder, even though there is a market literally a block away where I can get fresh garlic...

    But that garlic powder is how Memaw made her I-talian bread, and that is the recipe stapled into the cupboard of my mind.

    Before people freak out, McCormick and some other mainstream spices use sand (silica dioxide) and/ sawdust (cellulose) as a filler or anti caking agent.

    If that doesn't bother you, continue enjoying your pretend seasonings.
