Pantry purge

Y'all, I went into the Container Store for ONE gift bag this morning and left armed with pantry organization supplies. Now I'm knee-deep in oil, vinegar, teas, noodles, spices -Mario Batali was right; I never used that g-damn Garam Masala- and so forth. It's cathartic and fun yet a much larger project than I'd imagined. I mean, if I'm going to rearrange things, I might as well wipe down the shelves, yes? Why do I have so much turmeric? Do I really need the eggnog flavoring I just unearthed? I think not although it has lent my kitchen a pleasingly holiday smell. I think it was a freebie from King Arthur, and I don't even like eggnog but I might just keep opening and wafting it throughout the holiday and then toss it out with the remnants of 2011...
