ok i have to make another shopping list now. seriously i am tired of shopping.. and i thought i was done. silly me.

what you have bought will do
buy more when you are ready
as for recipes and cookbooks
you have my thread for recipes and jens is awesome with food too
cookbooks you can buy one a month
you can also learn to adapt
it is all experience, experimentation and confidence

Listen to Obiwan young grasshopper and you will learn! LOL

Hey, check out thrift stores & garage sales -- you may be able to find a crockpot real cheap or just get a basic one for $10 or so at Walmart/Kmart....

With a crockpot you can buy a lower cut of meat, put it in the crock & that will tenderize it....you can make chili, stew -- beef or turkey, pulled pork, etc

The net is a great resource for recipes.....Buy lots of cheap spices & spice mixtures if you can't afford fresh.....

Plus, practice!! I've had to toss stuff before cuz it didn't turn out but you'll learn.....

Post here often & ask questions! We're here to help!

a fully stocked larder of herbs and spices is a MUST too, right Obiwan?

not necessarily
just whatever you like most

but i tend to have a refrigerator like most chinese
full of condiments that i suse in cooking

I buy lots of spices from all kinds of stores...... cheap-type stores too....and lots of Mrs. Dash when on sale, dried chile peppers, etc

I think spices are important....condiments tend to get lost in my fridge....
