Spices
Spices have a finite shelf life, and they degrade over time. Shilling and McCormick both state that their spices are good for 2 years, and they date code their packaging. Being I'm transitioning to home grown spices, as well as buying them at Rice and Spice, I needed to date code my spice bottles. Thus, the little circular garage sale price tags easily are attached to the base of the spice bottles. They are also easy to remove in a couple years when I need to change the date. I got messed up making my taco's, as my chili powder had long since gone past its prime. Thus, I wash and prep a couple spice bottles for refilling every week. That way, in a couple months, I'll have redone most of my spices, except for the ones which are yet to sprout.

Tacos
Beef Tacos Need more power, but I think my chilipepper is past its prime. The other thing is, it may seem like a ton of work. The author however is correct, you can do a lot of things in the mean time, even if its hours of cooking to make tacos.
