I want this:

I want(read need) to cook more. I feel disorganized about my spices. I always buy the small size spice jars or fresh spices. I even have a dill and rosemary plant (I hate rosemary by the way, Gabe bought the plant and does the gardening in our family.) But that is the problem I ALWAYS forget to buy the spices on the occasion of when I go to the grocery store. Gabe is a saint and often goes grocery shopping when he gets off of work. Today I went to the gym instead of grocery store.

I know spices don't keep well, even though everyone always seems to keep them forever. Once in college when my friends where moving I inherited a large amount of spices in large quantity jars and felt guilty a few years later when my mom insisted I throw them out.

Anyways I want this:

  • Powdercoated steel rack
  • Glass jars with tin spice caps
  • Comes filled with spices (free refills available for five years to in-store, online and catalogue customers in the U.S. only)
  • Jars are dishwasher-safe
  • Made in China


See the part I enlarged, that is a bonus. I can attempt to keep my spices fresh for free?

This may be the lamest post ever. But I need to get back to blogging again. Jack is two. Work is overwhelming. Gabe is an amazing husband, he does so much(laundry, cooking, painting, writing, working, daddying, cleaning, grocery shopping & much more).

Jack didn't want me to per him in his crib tonight (per usual) and he begged me to sing the ABC song to him over and over. 
His favorite book is The Little Engine that Could we read it everynight
He repeats everything you say. In church the priest was talking about the wedding garments that were worn in biblical times, and Jack repeated the phrase "wed-ding  gar-ments, wed-ding, gar-ments"
His listening skills better then mine. 
Blue doggy seems to go everywhere he goes now. He went to preschool today, Nana & Papa Jay's house & backyard, gym day care, etc. 
I collapse after I put him to bed and waste time until Gabe gets home from work/grocery store. 


I am just going to stop right here before this post gets any worse. I finally have my new camera back from Penn Camera where it was held hostage for 2 months after breaking after a windy/sandy day in Taos, New Mexico after owning it for less then a week (it was an early bday present from my in-laws-thanks!). 

I'll update soon.
Tomorrow I will attempt to cook with the guacamole I made with 6 habanaro peppers in it. I even added more avocado and tomatoes to dilute the heat.
The peppers came from our garden I followed Gabe's instructions to put ALL 6 of them in the guac its way too spicy. Now I will attempt to cook a chicken and avocado casserole with it? (not very many recipes out there for how to cook with way too spicy guac)
We have all kinds of different peppers in our garden, which brings me back to starting to cook more and the spices I want so I can follow the recipes I google.

Christmas seems so far away, do I buy the spice rack now? I cook up all the food from this latest grocery trip then decide.
