Spices. Based on an un-scientifically-backed NY-Times Sunday magazine article, Anna Bloviations bought into the notion that it might be wise to replace every herb, spice, and soup enhancer packet in the Anna Bloviations' kitchen cabinet. It makes perfect sense that having something edible lie around for years might not be the best of worlds. Cost? Around $50 to change out dried basil, bay leaves, cilantro, oregano, cumin, turmeric, tarragon, sage, mustard seed, ginger, tarragon, cinnamon, fennel, celery seed, parsley, chopped chives, Cajun spices, cayenne pepper, and, oh yes, salt. We explained this to the check-out lady at Stop & Shop. She looked to be in her sixties. "Gee remember when we just used things up until they were gone?" Well yes. Good thing? Or bad thing? Needless to say we have no excuse that dinners won't taste fab.

While everyone else on the planet of Massachusetts was watching the Red Sox bat their way into the World Series, we were reading the most fascinating article about water (or the lack thereof) in the western states (California, Nevada, Arizona). And then today about the sinking water tables of the Great Lakes. Let's not forget Lake Lanier about to render 5 million Atlantonians mighty thirsty. Forget oil. WATER will be the World War III of all time and it might even be a neighbor right next to you siphoning your garden spicket...
