G'ma Spicy

I am Grandma Spicy

and not because of my spice organizing skills,

although I would like to share those skills with you,
here today, if you would be so kind as to placate me. :-)

The skills of the spice organizer:

BEFORE: CABINET #1

BEFORE CABINET: #2

DURING: 

A trip to IKEA for these.

(Have I ever mentioned that I LOVE IKEA???)

Then some pourin', a sortin' and label magic makin'...

then this:

AFTER: CABINET #1-Phase 1

But I was not so keen on the Mrs. Dash messing up the container alikeness mojo,

so then came this:

  

AFTER: CABINET #1-Phase 2

and Mrs. Dash (salt-free) was moved to cabinet #2 with nothing other than...salt:

AFTER CABINET #2

The real story behind the G'ma Spicy nickname

Although it may have a little bit of a risqué tone to it,  it really isn't so. How did I come to be "G'ma Spicy", you may wonder? Well, it's a pretty short story. You see, we were playing "Apples to Apples" with a few members of the familia. It was my turn to be "the judge" and the adjective card I received to play was "Spicy" and I was to choose which of the following was the best fit with this card:
     1) Incense
     2) Darth Vader
     3) Denzel Washington
Well, naturally my selection was "Denzel Washington" (so spicy!) with a close second as "Darth Vader" (pretty spicy and I'm thinking of him in his earlier days...more specifically his Anakin days, not the heavy breathing later days.) To my surprise and dismay the holder of the "Incense" card was not happy about my choice, at all. She was certain she was playing the spiciest of all cards and this became the topic of many future fun-filled gifts/conversations/arguments which, incidently, were never settled and eventually dubbed me: G'ma Spicy.
