Too Much Thyme? Decluttering Your Spices Without Losing Flavor
Avery Cundill, along with her daughter Lily Rich, tackle two surprisingly common clutter zones on The Declutter Queen: the spice cabinet and the calendar. Avery walks listeners through a straightforward process for decluttering kitchen spices, from identifying expired stock to organizing by category and storing smarter. The episode then shifts to a conversation with Lily, a busy university student navigating the chaos of an over scheduled life. Together, they explore why calendars become overwhelmed and how to create breathing room without sacrificing meaningful commitments.
3 rules for decluttering your spice cabinet:
1. Most ground spices lose potency after 1–3 years. If it smells like nothing, it tastes like nothing. Let it go.
2. Group spices by use: daily (salt, pepper, garlic), baking (cinnamon, nutmeg), global flavors (curry, za'atar). Keep what you actually cook with front and center.
3. You can cook eclectically with 10–15 spices. That jar of amchur powder you Googled once? If you're not using it, it's taking up space you deserve back.
