Yesterday, we heard the sound of glass (lots of it) loudly crashing against other glass. Upon investigation we found that one of the wire shelves I store our dried herbs on, had come loose from the pantry wall, and dumped dozens of bottles of herbs atop of one another.
Nothing was broken, but it took me a long time to pick up all the bottles of herbs and spices, and get then sorted out alphabetically. Meanwhile Bruce reattached the shelf to the wall, using twice as many supports to insure it would stay up.
To make it easy to find a seasoning quickly, the herbs and spice bottles went back onto the shelves in alphabetical order. I use clothes pins labeled A through Z on the outer rack to designate where each letter of the alphabet begins.
But of course that was only half the battle. We still had another entire shelf of herbs and spices that had to be unloaded and the supports reinforced , lest we have a similar mishap next week. But at the end of the day, the pantry was all put back together and all was in good order.
