On the plus side, I'm definitely waking up and interested in cooking again

[conuly]

On the down side, this is making me see the deficiencies in my spice cabinet, not to mention my beans-and-grains section of the pantry. (As I say this, my sister is rolling her eyes in disbelief, but I'm nearly out of pink peppercorns, folks, I have no asafetida, and I only have one type of lentils. The situation is dire.)


...also, I urgently need an ice cream maker.
