...Other than salt and pepper

For me it's cumin. It's one of the few spices I buy in bulk and actually use up my supply.

In the winter it may lean towards cardamom thanks to copious amounts of chia.

"Controversially bay leaves" has me dying

I also add bay leaves to everything. I found my local co op has them in the bull spice section, they are so freaking fresh.

    Here’s how I imagine it. You have a pot of soup on the stove and you go to your spice area and you think, “Man, I’m glad this area isn’t cluttered up with any shitty leaves. Shitty stupid garbage leaves. Little waste of money green things that make you feel crazy. Like leaves from a tree outside, and you throw them in for no reason. Thank god!”

    Amazing, thank you for sharing that
