Spice Racks Blog

How many times has this happened to you? You’re making a special spice blend, and have taken down all of your favorite spices from the spice rack. All the bottles are opened, the lids cast carelessly aside while you measure and prepare the savory delight that only carefully portioned herbs and spices can produce. Suddenly! You hear a noise from the basement! You  go down there, and find that it’s a ghost that your sister and her husband have sent to haunt you, because they don’t want to take care of it anymore, because it makes a mess of their kitchen. Here’s an example:

Who keeps leaving mail on the kitchen island? The ghost, that’s who. How frustrating!

Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, so you go down there and there’s a ghost, and now it’s YOUR problem, but more importantly, in all the fuss, you’ve lost one of the lids to your spice jars! NOW THAT’S PARANORMAL ACTIVITY!!!!

It used to be that you’d have to throw away a lidless spice jar. No more. Now that there’s the Spare Lid For Spice Jars!

With this cunning lid, you’ll never have to fear losing the original lid! Keep Spare Spice Jar Caps on hand for emergencies in the kitchen!  This spice lid is made of stainless steel, versatile, clean and a must have for a well organized home.  It’s portable, too!

I admit it, I’m kind of clumsy. I go into craft projects with the best of intentions, but if my fingertips don’t end up getting glued together at least once, well – it just hasn’t been a full day! Also, that whole ‘measure twice, cut once’ advice – that one just doesn’t seem to sink in.

And that’s why I love these Hardwood Spice Racks. They’re hand crafted – and my hands had nothing to do with it! They are so simple, and have a timeless charm. They can either sit on a countertop, inside a cabinet, or you can even mount them to a wall. I found these at Stacks And Stacks, and they’re available in two lengths – 16 or 24 inches. So, until I take that remedial wood shop class, I’m going to take pride in these racks!

Plus, there’s something so nice about the natural beauty of hardwood. It seems like there’s a big push these days for chrome, or metal, or stainless steel, or aluminum kitchen accessories. And all of those are nice, but sometimes it’s nice to get back to nature. After all, we’re not robots! Why should we feel like our kitchens should look like some sort of robot emporium? All that metal can be so cold!

As you all know, I was pretty disappointed with Prince William proposed to Kate Middleton. When I found out the news, I was standing in line at my local Grocery Outlet. “Well, there goes MY chance,” I told the checker. What I didn’t know, what I couldn’t have guessed was that Kate is a big fan of this blog!! That makes perfect sense, since I usually only get about 4 visitors to my blog a month, which at first I thought was ‘bad trafficking’ (that’s a technological term, I learned it from ‘The Social Network’) but I see now that it’s not low traffic – it’s EXCLUSIVE traffic. Of course somebody as important as Kate Middleton can’t go to really public places, and what’s more public than a popular blog? That’s why this blog is like a fancy drawing room where high class people can kick up their feet. Okay, even more exciting than the explanation for my low amount of traffic, pageviews so few that it seems silly to keep this up, is the EXCITEMENT THAT I AM INVITED TO THE WEDDING!!!! LOOK, I JUST GOT MY INVITATION!!

Sorry if you guys are really jealous. I would be really jealous if I were you. Anyway, I’ll be keeping you all updated on my pre-wedding preparations. I haven’t been so excited about a wedding since Bella and Edward were finally able to get married and be Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cullen. I know, you think that just happened in the book, but I did my own version of their wedding at my house. If anybody wants, I can post pictures.

Meanwhile, it’s time to consider what Spice Rack to buy William and Kate. How about this one:

Organize up to twelve of your favorite spices with this modern kitchen spice rack. Made of square-shaped nickel wire, this spice organizer rack features a heavy weighted base to prevent messy spills. The metal spice rack comes complete with 12 square 4 oz. clear glass spice bottles with stainless steel lids and plastic shaker inserts. The unique square design allows you to fit more spices in a smaller area. You will also receive a complete set of 84 clear spice labels – from basil to poultry seasoning! Bottles and lids are dishwasher safe. Not suitable for wall mounting.

Do you think the wall mounting would be an issue. Kate? Feel free to let me know.
