Cooking Spices (2 of 2)

I stated in Cooking Spices (1 of 2), today I cleaned out my spice cabinet. After tossing a bunch of spices in the trash I got to think that there is someone living in Arizona that might want to use my spices when making their special meal. This person likes to combine different sauces together when cooking. For example mixing leftover A1, ketchup, teriyaki and mustard together. So I dug the following out of the trash:

Dry Mustard, Parsley, Old Bay, Parmesan Powder, Lemon Pepper (x2), Pepper, Allspice, Cinnamon, Ginger, Cloves, Herbs de Provence, Red Pepper Flakes, Cumin, Chili Pepper, Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning, Jamaican Jerk Seasoning, Grillmates Hamburger (Third Photo)

I then proceeded to pour the contents of each spice into a large vase. The spices filled the vase all the way to the top and when I was done I thought it looked like a work of art. (First Photo) Next I realize that this would not be practical as I needed to combine the spices better. (Second Photo). The consistency turned out perfectly. (Fourth Photo). When I was done, I realized that since this was all the expired spices I should just throw them all away. Oh Well, it was a fun exercise.
