Allspice, Basil, Cloves...

We took a quick survey at the library. Many of you may suspect that Librarians are fools for organization, but did you know many of us love to cook? Maybe you did after seeing the size of the cookbook collection. Anyway, 75% of Librarians surveyed alphabetize their spices. Another 50% of librarians write the date of purchase on their spices (spices are generally only good for one year). Another 50% put the date on their baking powder too.

How about you, do you alphabetize your spices?
