Pepper isn't local. Cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice - not local (hello, East Indies trade routes, clipper ships, etc....).
If I were awesome I would grow herbs, though. I would have a garden of 'em so I could make my food taste different than it does.
If I were awesome I could dehydrate garlic and then powder it up and mix it with salt for ready-made garlic salt! I'm not awesome. I have roasted garlic and I have salt.
If I were awesome I would dry chili peppers and make my own chili powder. Guess I'm not eating chili this month.
I could start my own sourdough starter and save heirloom seeds and....be homeless because I can't do everything at once and, until the zombies come, I still need money.
So my seasonings this month are, so far, salt, garlic, onion, and butter. I'm going to pick up a bunch of basil if it's still around this weekend and see what else I can get. Salt/garlic/onion/butter is great, but everything is going to taste like saltgarliconionbutter pretty soon. But I think having a table all to myself at class might be cool.
