I was really thinking that this recipe is peanut-free when I created that image and wrote “nut-free”.

So let me share with you the basic concept of how you can make this thing make sense for you and then I’ll give you a little tour around.Think about how you would organize pantry items on a regular, straight shelf.

You would have a space for each item along the front of each shelf and then if you had any duplicate items, you would place those in a row behind that same item.So this works exactly the same way, only circular!.Treat the outer edge of the circle as the front of the shelf, that way as you turn the lazy-susan around, you can see everything that you’ve got, with no mystery items getting stuck somewhere in no-man’s-land in the middle.. You can then stick any duplicate items in a row behind that same item, heading back towards the center of the circle.

Sometimes two rows of the same item will need to become one in a triangular shape to accommodate the circularness, but you’ll figure it out.You’re a smart cookie.

You can have one or two other items that you keep only in the middle of the circle, but make sure it’s stuff that you always like to have on hand so you know exactly what it is.

Also keeping the number of things there low means you can still see everything.. Here’s a little diagram of the basic concept from an overhead view.. Bam!I love the little bit of life it brings to this corner of the room, with its visible cords and half ripped-up floors.. It’s a great little pick-me-up for a corner that badly needs it, and every time I see it, it’s a pick-me-up for me too!.

When I clicked on the link, I couldn’t find my way to the original person who came up with this idea.If you know, let me know so I can credit them!First of all, before we get into it today, do you want to know my big news?.
