Maybe obvious but I just thought to myself “I make this meal all the time and every time I mix together the required amount of spices. Why don’t I just make a shit load and then use as much as I need each time?”

Gonna do this from now on its actually gonna save me so much psychic damage from fucking around with powder.

    The only downside here is that some spices work MUCH better when fresh ground, so if you notice a difference in your premixes (not being a strongly flavored as you expect) then I’d try making smaller batches, which may or may not prove to actually be time saving.

    I’m the weirdo who buys almost all of my spices whole, and grinds and toasts the ones that need to be fresh on demand.

      Meh, I cook entirely by feeling. I feel like measuring everything takes the soul out of homemade cooking, but that’s just me.

        So do I.

        I made an amazing batch of seasoning with that method using some gifted Serrano chillies and a bunch of other shit… fucked if I can remember what or how much and I’m almost out.
