 Organising Tips for Kitchens
Have you ever had salted coffee? You know, when instead of jar with sugar you take salt and mix into coffee?!I thought I was well organised in my kitchen, ...until yesterday. I was cooking dinner and instead of jar with paprika, I grabbed jar with chilly and generously placed 2 tbs in my stew. I like spicy and hot food, but this was too much.
