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

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.

I've only ever had the kind that you had to put ice and salt in a barrel and turn a crank, and the kind where you have to keep the freezing cylinder in your freezer until you want to use it (and it's turned by a motor). I wish I could afford the kind that have a refrigeration unit, like the one in a home freezer or air conditioner, built in into a tabletop appliance - some of them can make two different batches of ice cream at once. But they're way outside my budget.
