Labels
I forgot to mention this in my last post... I'd been procrastinating on making labels for a lot of my storage baskets and canisters because I don't have a label-maker, and hand-written they look kind of sloppy...
Well, I finally got around to doing something about that, I took a baby step and made some temporary labels out of post-its (that I can peel off and replace after I get a proper label-maker, sloppy labels is probably better than no labels). And then, even better idea where I could, I made labels out of the original packaging that I was about to discard. I was really happy with my labels made from the original packaging because I was able to put everything in nice stacking canisters, but the labels are still there with what's in them and they're easy to read and recognize. Just pick out one of the smaller labels from the package (like on the side or top or bottom of the box) and cut out and scotch tape on. I cut out the suggested cooking directions for the rice, and taped them on the back of the canister as well, in case I need to remember the cooking times for the different kinds of rice.
I thought I'd throw that out there as a suggestion to anyone else who's been procrastinating on labeling things because you want it to look neat, cutting a label from some old packaging affixing with scotch tape looks so good I may not relabel those ones once I get my label maker!
