to much spice in my life

I clean out my spice/oil/div junk cupboard before Christmas and I was pretty shocked to see how much odd things we have. You know all those fancy recipe you see in magazines which require at least 3 different 'never before heard of' ingredients? Of course you need to buy them and since the recipe was pretty disappointing you never make it again and the spices you bought... well they are currently taking a lot of space in my cupboard.

Here is the tally:

peanut oil
rice vinegar
pure sesame oil
baking powder
soy sauce
gravy
olive oil
balsamic vinegar
vegetable oil
turmeric powder
parsley
poppy seed
cumin seed
5-chinese spices
ground nutmeg
thyme
curry powder
chicken stock cubs
beef stock cubs
hot madrass curry powder
paprika
ginger
cardemonn
cinnamon
tarragon
garam masala
caraway seeds
pepper
salt
chives
organo x 2
sea salt
garlic salt
lamb herbs
greek seasoning

The once in bold are the one we use frequently. Now any ideas what I can do with the rest? Any favorite recipe out there which calls for tarragon and garam masala or cardemon?
