I found a healthy recipe I was determined to make and headed to the store early yesterday. One ingredient was sesame seeds. First, let me say I do not care for sesame. I can handle small doses but too much ruins it for me, much like coconut and ginger (fresh, not ale). Anyway, I gave in and had to ask for help. I had no idea where to find sesame seeds. At first I thought it would be with the Asian foods, then maybe with the other things like sunflower seeds in produce, then I wondered if maybe it would be with the salad toppings. I asked and I never thought to look in the spice aisle. Hmm. It really doesn't matter because I was so unimpressed with the outcome, we had to pick dinner up.
While I finished all my grocery shopping before 9:30, the only downside to finishing that early is that the liquor store isn't open yet. I don't normally need to stop at the liquor store but again, a recipe. I'm finally going to make Ina Garten's coq au vin today or tomorrow and I needed cognac for that. We'll see how that turns out. If it turns out to be another recipe flop, I guess I'll pick up a new hobby... cognac.
