Organizing your barware gadgets.

January 30, 2014 2 Comments

Let’s get frank about our liquor cabinets.

Frankly, they are messy.

If you thought baking and cooking gadgets were out of control, barware accessories are so ridiculously non-essential for the most part.

But I love ‘em.

I NEED multiple muddlers, aerators, and decanters.

I NEED to keep my late-aunt’s bar recipe books.

I NEED the cute bird shaped citrus ream even though I haven’t used it.

Yet.

 

There should be no surprise here with today’s de-cluttering tip.  I incorporate the same process as de-cluttering the cabinets and storing once-in-a-while items.

I propose that to keep your barware gadgets organized, pared down what you need (or want to NEED) and store in a see-through plastic shoe container.

Only this time, instead of storing in the garage or alternate location, keep this container in your liquor cabinet, within easy reach.

Easy.
Peasy.
Eat well, my friends. Eat well.

      This should be your #1 resolution for the year. You need a muddler! And what? No decanter? How are we related?

Slowing down to savor food and life. And above all, have a good time.

Ad. Stop sneaking the spiced candied pecans!” I Ad. Stop sneaking the spiced candied pecans!” I said this not once, not twice, but almost three times before Dennis beat me to it those words all over again. “I’m sneaking some more,” he happily declared.⁠
⁠
I’m delighted that he was enjoying them! I assured him that he could have allllll that his little heart desired… he just had to allow me to take a few photos for you!⁠
⁠
You see these spiced candied pecans are simple and easy go-to appetizers that we should always have the ingredients on hand. For those “just in case” moments when… ⁠
⁠
…Oh forget it! Every day is the perfect moment!⁠
⁠
This isn’t any ordinary candied pecan recipe – it’s extraordinary! We’re adding spices. ⁠
⁠
Not just any ordinary spice – we’re adding @puretexanchili mix.⁠
⁠
That’s right, chili mix!⁠
⁠
Link in bio for the recipe!⁠
⁠
Enjoy!

ad. Probably the most stressful thing about chili ad. Probably the most stressful thing about chili is wondering if all the time and energy you spent on those spices and ingredients… will actually turn out.⁠
⁠
The last thing you want after all that effort is a wasted pot of chili. Ugh! ⁠
⁠
Think about all the times that you’ve been to someone’s home, watching the game, lounging around, playing cards, or binge-watching Netflix. ⁠
⁠
Was chili involved? ⁠
⁠
If it wasn’t, it should’ve been! Chili is fun food!⁠
⁠
Have you heard of @puretexanchili?⁠
⁠
At the urging of friends, Alan and Susan Dean decided to make their award-winning championship chili available to everyone by packaging and selling their Pure Texan Chili spice blend! ⁠
⁠
They sell their Pure Texan Chili packets online (and on amazon) and what I particularly love about them is that they don’t get fancy with tons of product line extensions.⁠
⁠
Alan and Susan stick with their chili mix because their mix is a winner.⁠
⁠
Because they keep it simple… we can keep it simple.⁠
⁠
You’ll find tons of recipes created by Alan on their website. Since it’s fall and the cool weather is here to stay for a while, I decided to check out their Veggie Chili recipe.⁠
⁠
The ingredients for this veggie chili recipe are simple and healthy. We’re talking sweet potatoes, cauliflower, squash, black beans, tomato sauce, water, and yep, you guessed it! One packet of Pure Texan Chili mix. ⁠
⁠
Deeeeeelish!⁠
Hello!⁠ ⁠ Are you still feeling all the Thanks Hello!⁠
⁠
Are you still feeling all the Thanksgiving feels?⁠
⁠
I am.⁠
⁠
And not just because we're still eating leftovers! :)⁠
⁠
I'm giving thanks for waking up every day.⁠
I'm giving thanks for feeling hopeful.⁠
I'm thankful to be thankful. ⁠
⁠
I'm thankful for the food in our pantry.⁠
In our fridge.⁠
And in our freezer.⁠
⁠
And in my belly.⁠
⁠
Warmly,⁠

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
