I keep my spices in a deep drawer. This means that the labels are hidden and I only see the top of the jars. I used to spend a lot of time rifling through trying to find the "right" spice. Then I discovered a great short cut! With a sharpie, I wrote the name, or an abbreviation, on the top of each jar. Now I can see exactly where each spice is. No more guessing, and it saves a lot of time and frustration!
