heh this is for people like me - deadly afraid of spicy food and needing minimal amounts just to keep the husband happy! or for people trying new spices to see if they like it before buying bigger container, no?
i wanna go shopping for wierd things with you, one day we need to hit asian markets in gardena - once we found bottle opened marked in a container saying it's vegetable peeler. i guess beer is vegetable in asia?
Oooh, don't forget coriander. Essential for Indian, and surprisingly handy in Chinese and Mexican, too.
But yeah. Beaucoup de lazy. I get big frickin' bags of spices from Indian stores etc., and they're cheaper (not just per gram, but in total) than even those little glass jars of spices in the regular grocery stores. I may never go through that half-pound bag of cumin, but it's still a hell of a lot cheaper than that jar that held one-tenth as much.
Half the fun of cooking with spices is spinning 'round your kitchen merrily throwing in a dash of this and a dash of that whilst singing the theme song from Bedknobs and Broomsticks.
