My uncle has started putting the more expensive herbs and spices on our shopping list. Pointing out that it was a sound investment for yummier food. Which is true. Pisses my mom off though, since she doesn't like most of those herbs and spices. Him and I have been banned from using sage in anything.

Basil and rosemary are pretty expensive dried, and hard to find in our Wal-Mart. Lol I used to get my rosemary from a local college's garden. They had a botany class who planted a lot of herds and edible greens.

When we have it, I like to dice up my own garlic, but that's rarely on the official shopping trip. Never used basil though, however I've been pretty fond of rosemary. Especially when I made roast. I liked to cut holes into the roast and stuff them with garlic and rosemary. Don't have my access to rosemary anymore.

I haven't tried doing anything with instant potatoes, mostly because I don't really like how it tastes. Do add seasonings to my potato soup though. Mostly it's just garlic salt, pepper, parsley, and maybe sometimes a bit of Italian seasoning.

Eh I can understand that. I don't just love soup (I do my favorite foods are soups), but by the end of the month there's just barely anything left. My mom counts out how many dinners we can have exactly (no wiggle room for breakfast or lunch, JUST dinner). So the amount I can take from that count is pretty small. Which is why I mostly make soup, something that can be made out of just about anything left over.

My favorite thing to make is a knock off potato, bacon, and cheese soup. I've even learned a trick with potatoes in which I pop them into the microwave to cut down on the cooking time in the soup itself.

Soup is my go to when we're at the end of the month before our shopping trip. Thing about soup is, you can make it with just about anything.

Since the normal chef didn't cook last night, I was able to make some yummy broccoli soup with sausage.

Ours is coming from Nate, it's supposed to begin raining later on today.

I do have Avengers shaped pasta to do something with. Hrm.
Also tomorrow is a 90% chance of rain.

I've not made that kind of sauce from scratch yet. Should try that eventually.

Om nom nom, I'm having home-made stew for lunch (well and dinner my mom makes dinner suuuuuuper early).

Ooo I'm excited to see what the new list will be.

o.o I can has that coolness please?
