Easy-peasy.
Day 5: Friday, October 4
Assignment: Restock Ingredients
You mean there were people who were tossing way-out-of-date spices and such in the pantry clean who weren't immediately making a list of which items needed to be replaced pronto? That night I was picking up containers at the 100 yen shop and ordering baggies of spice. I'm not one of The Kitchn people who is doing this because I want to encourage myself to cook more. I'm doing this because I do cook to a degree where very few things can be out-of-stock for long...and because the dark days are coming.
I did restock my brown sugar.
Let's celebrate the ease of this assignment with Miss. Platinum:
The Kitchn does give an option for those who don't want to spend a good deal:
The Buy Nothing Path: If you feel well-stocked already, or simply don't want to spend any money, use this time to think about how you want to cook going forward. What kinds of dishes do you like? Can you rearrange your cupboards very mindfully, making sure that the ingredients you use most are most accessible? Make a list of dream ingredients and add one each week to your shopping list, then it won't seem like extra spending.
This is already what I do. Except the dream ingredients. I don't dream it. I buy it, cook it, eat it.
(Pinkmaning) Nailed it, bitch!
I am looking forward to having my step-stool back. It's almost all spray painted, sanded, sprayed again...and after a few more spritzes it will be ready to be re-assembled.
I am still going to count this as a decluttering day, because I did freecycle a few things away.
