This was so relatable, haha. When I was packing up to move from NYC to Japan, I figured there was no way I could bring my several shelves full of opened and half-used cooking spices. Fortunately I was able to find good homes for all of them, but it was still a bit heartbreaking. I was very happy to find a local spice shop with a great variety and an online presence after I moved. I miss the cheese selection at Fairway, and I've seen fresh fennel bulbs and butternut squash exactly once in ~6 years, but I've also discovered many previously-unknown-to-me local ingredients that I now love cooking with on a regular basis, like komatsuna and Japanese pumpkin.

OMG the bean caper debacle gave me the laugh I needed on this Sunday morning made more mellow by the almost predictable CFE outage.
