#i am experiencing a rekindling of my cookery hyperfixation

[concerningwolves]

something unfortunate i have learned about myself is that i have zero self-control when confronted with herbs and spices, especially if they're used in south asian cooking. i learned this when i discovered there are three (3) asian food stores near me, two in easy walking distance, and that it is significantly more cost-effective to buy spices in bulk from there. just stepping inside and seeing the walls of neatly ordered bags of seeds, herbs, spices and dried flowers is like the purest hit of serotonin imaginable. it appeals to me in a profoundly autistic way. i will sometimes just start tearing up from all the wonderful variety and pleasing colours.

anyway i spent a significant chunk of my hobby budget this month on spices and a tawa.
