Just noticed my spices are years out of date - help me shop Poll: what are your most common recommended spices/herbs and spiced dishes? - Max Mar 28, 16:14 20
- OK. Use of your unused spices. Thyme used for tourtiere. Basil super rare and it would only be fresh. Oregano never. Rosemary for a couple of dishes - loosilu Mar 28, 16:24
- I get the convenience but it's night and day difference with fresh dill on your fish, and dried. A few other spices are night and day. Hint hint - Bacon Mar 28, 16:24 2

  - Chives -- nm - Bacon Mar 28, 16:25

  - Spices for occasional craving for deviled eggs: Curry powder and paprika. -- nm - loosilu Mar 28, 16:18
- I regularly use all of your last line except allspice. -- nm - Reagen Mar 28, 16:16 7
  - But it's all the spices. Why would you need anything else? -- nm - Ba Baron Ron Ron Mar 28, 16:19
  - (paprika is probably my third most used after pepper and garlic powder) -- nm - Reagen Mar 28, 16:17 5
    - give me some scenarios - variations on the same meat dishes, or across multiple cuisines? I don't know what they're used for. -- nm - Max Mar 28, 16:18 3

    - Yeah -- nm - ty97 Mar 28, 14:58
From backboards Andie: Gloves and masks are for the sick apparently. - Qale Mar 28, 14:41 14

- They're recommending masks for everyone but especially people that are vulnerable or working essential jobs. - Krusty Mar 28, 14:46 12
  - It is entirely possible that rules have changed of course. I haven’t seen it on partnernet though. -- nm - Qale Mar 28, 15:01 11
    - Here... - Krusty Mar 28, 15:07
    - Your life > rules. Would they not let you work if you wore a mask? - Krusty Mar 28, 15:03 9
