American Vernacular Landscapes: packing the spice rack

Monday, January 17, 2011

Aspects of this move are proving humbling.

I suppose many of these things could have been deacquisitioned long ago.

Hey, this one isn't so bad. In fact, its purchase date hasn't even happened yet.

Oh, wait.

Sigh.

l.e.s.ter said...: Apparently in the late '90s I made a habit of labeling spices. Yes, that is a pre-1972 container of Crown Colony cayenne (Safeway house brand) taken from mom's spices. Should I eBay that shit? It's still spicy hot.; January 18, 2011 at 8:53:00 AM EST
Anonymous said...: Perhaps my co-worker who registered for two different spice racks will want some of these. I think YOU should register for 5 spice racks. Or, better yet, register for one $200 spice rack and then I can really mock you.; January 18, 2011 at 2:30:00 PM EST
Unknown said...: i dont think its right to ebay it. you need to return it. mom has been looking for it for almost FOURTY years! or maybe aunt c wants to add it to her collection of 1970s stickers?; January 19, 2011 at 12:31:00 PM EST
