Some of the containers

It was chilly and windy today, and I still didn't feel like focusing on anything requiring precision, but I addressed 53 postcards, updated my gardening journal (with some receipts from 2016), and cooked 3 meals: for breakfast, pancakes. For lunch, a riff on chile rellenos, using Anaheim peppers and leftover bulgur-carrot mush. The mush was fortified with red pepper flakes and parmesan powder from a long-ago pizza order.

For dinner, last night's chicken, re-roasted with the remaining hunk of zucchini and fingerling potatoes. I had half a sample of packet of Forward seasoning in the spice bin, so I used it on the veggies. (I am not a huge fan of paprika on potatoes, but hunting for the coriander yesterday reminded me of how much my pantry is out of whack: I am down to two bay leaves and not even a doll's thimbleful of cinnamon, but the bbq rubs, steak blends, hot sauces, and bags of paprika would fill a basket, and I should bake something with nutmeg and/or mace soon, since it's now clear that my day-to-day cooking rarely involves those flavors. It's a pleasant problem to have . . .)
