Cleaning out the kitchen is like magic

[kimberkit]

After years of complaining that I needed some easier way to shred cheese than a box grater, I was cleaning out my cabinets today and discovered.... the cheese shredder blade that came with my food processor. Oops. I didn't even know food processors did that. I had no idea what the disc thing was for, when I bought my food processor, years ago.

Um, that's the best use of fridge space, and the best way of storing spices, I've ever seen.
How did you do it? I might want to try it

I used the magnets from K&J that she recommended, and 4 oz tins with screw-top lids from Papermart: http://www.papermart.com/Product%20Pages/Product.aspx?GroupID=14283

I didn't like the clear plastic tops from specialty bottles that she recommended because light degrades spices, and also I was scared of a non-screw top lid.

The system is secure --so far I've opened the freezer about 50 times in an attempt to move these, and the tins don't budge at all.

Wow! Very nice. :-)

That looks really cool. It is like petri dishes but suspended on the fridge. It looks like a pretty art piece! I hope you are doing okay. I am sorry I have been out of touch.

Thank you :) And you're fine -- I've been hiding from people.

I have been hiding from people too. And my cousin is coming in the last two weeks of March so lately it has been a combination of "I have no time to see anyone." and "Seeing people seems like so much work." So it is good to know that not all of the not-contact has been due to me being not-available or people hiding.

We should get together when things are a tad less crazy.

Yes! That would be nice. So, like... second week of April? :P

That looks really awesome. :)
