Spring cleaning was supposed to start Monday, with my bedroom. Instead, it started today - with the kitchen.
It started innocently enough with me Foodsavering (yeah, I know it's not a real word) jars of various types of rice and beans. Then of course I had to find a better place to store them. I mean, freshly foodsavered mason jars in the pantry? Surely, you jest.
Of course, I do need to reorganize the spice cabinet. Yeah, I said spice cabinet. All three shelves in the cabinet and some pantry space, too. (I married a foodie, so what did I expect?) So anyway, the damn shelves were super-hyper-overly stuck in the cabinet with these clip things that involved me on a chair with a steak knife reaching over my head and blindly stabbing at the clips so they would release the shelves from their death grip. It's almost like I'm not supposed to move the shelves, or something.
The cutting boards and sheet trays are giving me a headache. Where do you store six cutting boards and three half-sheet sheet trays? I am still working on that one.
The good news is that I don't have much grocery shopping to do, because I found so much stuff I had forgotten about. The bad news is I just have too much kitchen crap that I was blissfully unaware of until today. Damn you Foodsaver.

I store my cutting boards between the wall and the microwave (on the side) as for the sheet trays well if you find an answer please share also please do not ever look in the cupboards where I cram, shove and pile all my baking pans :D
Happy Spring Cleaning!
Hey, lookie-me! I've got blogger working again :) All it took was a new computer.
Please, don't mention Spring Cleaning. I'm not ready for that.
Now ... if you wanna talk gardening, I'm all ears.
Mama B- thanks for the tip! I ended up covering the bottom half of the hutch with a curtain and am storing them there. As for the big Tupperware type trays (and bowls, for that matter) those are tucked away in the pantry.
Carin - I would take a new computer over a clean kitchen any day! I am spring cleaning now so I can have more time outside when I won't freeze my arse off. Gotta plant the Earthboxes and butterfly garden, you know!
