It was a frigid Minnesota evening. I was home minding my own business, finally making a list of the spices I have so I know what to get when I go to the store, when the phone rang. It was our daughter, Rebekah.
"What are you doing Mom?"
"I don't want to tell you what I am doing." I think listing my spices is pretty lame.
Silence.
"Okay, I'm making a list of my spices."
Silence.
Subject changes.
Eventually, she asks again, "What were you making a list of?"
"Spices."
"Oh, I thought you said vices."
Now, how many vices does she think I have, that I need to keep a list of them?
Brenda, did you compile your "exhaustive" spice list out of your own head, or did you get it from somewhere?
ReplyDeleteI just took my laptop to the spice drawer and started typing. Now that I know what I have, it's a little easier when I'm looking at recipes and going to the store. For instance, I have two Tumerics, would I ever need two Tumerics!
ReplyDeleteOh I hope it doesn't get that cold and snowy here...who knows what I may resort to doing!! Ha! Island Grandma
