What's your pantry stocked with?

Not just "What's in your fridge?" but "What's in your emergency supplies?"

Right? It's what every food magazine/news article about spices says, but I find that most of my spice cabinet is still fine after a year, and depending on what it is, even two or three years.

I try and get as much air as possible out so they are as vacuum sealed as I can get (little baggies of spice for me! no air filled spice jars ...well except for the turmeric, but that is my own fault for accidently buying 2 kilos last time) I tend to have whole spices rather than powders as well so everything still seems fine 5 years on for some things

What do you like to use turmeric for?

I like to fry my eggs in oil and turmeric. They go all orange and crunchy on the bottom. The turmeric changes flavour quite a lot when it is cooked like this. Half a teaspoon to 1 teaspoon per fried egg does use the turmeric pretty fast.

I also cook variations of these fairly regularly, I've changed the recipes for my own taste (more turmeric less coconut!) but these are the originals:

I used to use turmeric quite a lot when I made honey mustard sauces, but I've found a beekeeper who sells turmeric infused honey so I tend to use that now.

Those all sound so good - I'll have to give the eggs a try tomorrow morning.

Considering Turmeric's healthy qualities you're probably going to live into triple digits, cooking awesomely luminous eggs the whole way. notes this recipe down
