Purging!

  Posted on June 10, 2010  by Leslie Blythe  2 comments

We are moving in 5 days.  Yikes!  We are only moving .78 miles away, which actually makes it more difficult because I am not bubble wrapping my dishes, etc.  I have WAY too many dishes – having said that, I do use them all. 

Yesterday, I went through my kitchen cupboards and was amazed at how much I needed to throw away.  Spices really do not last long – 6 months, tops.  Most people keep them for years.  I probably have more spices than most people. 

Also, vinegar – champagne vinegar, tarragon vinegar, raspberry vinegar, cider vinegar, white wine vinegar, red wine vinegar, white vinegar, sherry vinegar, malt vinegar, rice vinegar, brown rice vinegar, 3 kinds of balsamic vinegar.  Okay, that’s 14 kinds of vinegar!  I also uncovered a bottle of rose water and 4 “opened” jars of marmite.  I won’t even go into the bottles of hot sauce.  You get the picture.

I encourage everyone to go through your cupboards and purge!
