made my spices inc purchase. Really had to struggle to hit hte 75 dollar threshold to get the free shipping. Also nice that they give you a free sample. Smoked garlic salt it is.

wife is gonna be pissed when my order comes in.

"Where are you putting all this"

@da_667 Careful, once you start experimenting, it can be addicting. This was my spice drawer a few years ago before I outgrew it.

@cR0w @da_667

it's a slippery slope. my partner and i have been experimenting with a huge range of cuisines, all of which have signature spices/herbs. we have a wall of cabinets in the laundry room more or less full of various spices, herbs, or specialty ingredients.

does mean that we have saved huge amounts not ordering takeout/delivery and learned all sorts of things about various countries and cultures.

@paul_ipv6 @da_667 And as someone who is definitely not a purist in any way, it's super cool experimenting with "fusions" or whatever the cool kids call it where you mix cuisines to make something greater than the sum of its parts. Like how literally anything can be made into a fantastic "burrito."

@cR0w @da_667

so true!

spices/herbs we found in one cuisine sometimes going into a more regular rotation in unrelated dishes or cuisines.
