Thanks again Faith for your insight. I'm in the process of buying a new stove right now and it's super frustrating trying to find anything reliable on gas ranges. I think we're going to get a 30" Bertazonni and I can't wait to fire that baby up!

For those who don't have curbside facilities who will pick up your compost stuff and you can't compost the bones and skin and whatnot, might I recommend you get a green cone. You can put pretty much any type of food in it that can't go into a compost. Here's a link to a website that sells them. http://www.peoplepoweredmachines.com/greencone/

I always just slice the paper top that you have to remove when you first open the plastic lid so that you don't need to remove one thing to add another which seems kind of wasteful. Also, I agree that the tape would get kind of funky. I've done this with cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, anything that is in a powder form that has a paper top under a plastic lid.

I just reorganized my pantry and spice cupboard by using cheap (spice jars were $2 each and larger jars were from $4-6 each) from Superstore in Canada. They don't scream IKEA, which I was looking for since I wanted something a bit different. Like the jars above, the have the rubber rim seal and now my cupboards look super nice and way less cluttered! Now to find a good labeling system....hhhmmmm

Not sure if it's the same in the States, but I went to IKEA in Vancouver, Canada last weekend to get #3 and they've discontinued the line. I was going to use it to put home made vanilla extract for Christmas gifts to some relatives. Love #10.
