So I was going to say something about our kitchen spice magnets from Ikea today, and I realize I never told you about them in the first place!
A few weeks ago we went to Ikea and bought the best thing ever, these little three inch in diameter metal canisters with a glass lid and magnetic back for our spices.
These magnets are so great. We just slap them on the side of the fridge, and they're right where you need them at all times!
As I've mentioned before, spices in the grocery store here can come in many forms - either the little glass jars like we're used to in the states, or plastic bags, or a self-serve system, like the candy cart in the mall. That's all well and good, but then you get home and have a plastic bag of cinnamon and you realize you're in trouble.
We also bought some glass jars for our flour, sugar, cornmeal, brown sugar, pop corn, black beans, etc. They're a fun decoration, and useful too! |
