MY TRAVELLING SPICE RACK

Having to maintain three households (Texas, Condo and Boat) created a bit of a problem in keeping spices on hand for cooking.  I was constantly replacing spices.  When I would return to any of these homes and try to plan a meal, I could never remember what I had on hand.  I would muse.  "I think I have chili powder on the boat, or was that down in Texas that I just bought that."  and if I did remember exactly what I did have on hand I would find the spices that I left last year, would be stale.  So, now I have a solution.  My travelling spice rack. 
 
 
I purchased this spice rack from Lee Valley and it hangs on two hooks.  As shown next to the stove on my boat. 

 
 
I have installed sets of these hooks in all three households, so this spice rack can be moved along with us as we travel.  I now know exactly what is on hand and how fresh the spices are. 
 
 
 
IT WORKS FOR ME !
