@bookish1 – I didn’t have any evidence to back it up, but I was thinking the same thing with the spices near the stove.
I also buy in bulk at the Penzey’s . I am blessed to have one only a few miles from my house so I can buy on a whim and I don’t need to pay for shipping! Thanks to them, I have a huge collection of spices. There are almost none that I rarely use. I also make my own curries and mixes.
Unfortunately, I don’t think i’m organized enough to keep them in their original bags in the fridge. My bags are the 8 or 16 oz size and I am naturally a slob. So I fear they would clutter up the fridge and get lost between the cold cuts or whatever I happened to cram in there.
I am starting to hate the sprinkler lids -esp with these stupid sideways lids I am using – one wrong placement and spices are on the floor.
@wildpotato I love that spice rack! The party tins sounds amazing. Unfortunately, the clumsy part of me would probably take that great idea and fuglify it and the room where I worked.
@Yetanotheruser those racks look tempting. I will have to see how things work out with the organizer and if there will be room in the pantry.
@Adirondackwannabe – sounds cool!! I had a friend who had a wine storage like that. I love globes.
@wundayatta @Coloma -yikes! your poor spices! The heat! The heat! I have a self cleaning oven and I cringe thinking of cleaning the oven with the spices up there getting subjected to 500 degrees.
