I came across a blog post yesterday titled ‘Labeling The Salt‘ written by Lelah at Helping You Organize. Initially I thought that it was going a bit over the top until I remembered I’d actually labelled my own salt on Saturday LOL. I had been tidying out my baking shelf. I have 4 old ice-cream tubs that hold my flour, milk powder and sugar (staple ingredients for my daily loaf of homemade bread).
