Meet Herb the Spice Rack
Most of you won’t know this, but I am fortunate enough to be married to a woodworker. A few years ago, Phil built me a combination spice/liquor cabinet that was very nice, but had one problem; I couldn’t see anything. I have a plethora of herbs and spices and if I am needing culinary inspiration I like to look at my spice rack and meditate on them waiting for a culinary epiphany.
Last Sunday, my thoughtful and handy husband built me a veritable temple of flavor. My new spice rack has seven steps, holds more herbs and spices than I can imagine (I can imagine quite a bit),and is the most beautiful shade of scarlet red. As soon as Herb (get it, Herb the Spice Rack), was mounted on the wall I began to load and arrange my spices taking a step back now and again to be sure I had it just right. Thanks to Phil, after three years in hiding I can finally go back to meditating over my herbs and spices awaiting epicurean nirvana.
