Spicey

Let me preface this by saying I have a ridiculous amount of spices. I have three spice racks...yes...three.  One large, one medium and one small and they all surround my stove. Insane. Some of the spices are doubled up, usually the ones I use constantly.  Quite a few of them were bought for one specific recipe and then sit to be rarely used again, just shuffled around but I can't bring myself to throw it away, they are expensive!  And you never know which one of those oddball spices are going to put your dish over the top!  More than once i've said "hey what's this?  Eehhh throw some in!" and it turned out to be the magic touch.
