The lazy shopper’s cupboard
Besides the canned goods, you’ll also want a large and varied
arsenal of spices, dried herbs, oils and condiments. The addition of a
single herb or spice can make the difference between merely edible food,
and something approaching divine. The spices you keep on hand will
depend largely upon what types of foods most appeal to you, of course,
but there are a few basics that’ll allow you to evoke a wide variety
of ethnic cuisines – and variety is decidedly a good thing, as it’ll
keep you from getting bored with your cooking and rushing over to that
telephone to dial your favorite Indian place for take-out. Of course, you’ll need some sort of base of grain or pasta to go
along with your meals. Forget about bread – any bread worth eating
only tastes good on the day that it’s bought. Instead stick with dried
goods, which will keep indefinitely. Stock up whenever you see these
items on sale on the supermarket, and maintain a watch on your supply to
make sure that you replenish whenever it appears you’re running low. that's right, there's more this way
