since my man was

headed out to run errands,

i asked if he’d pick up our favorite ‘easier than slipping on ice’ meat spice.

as we’d spent the last two years using up the last bottle,

it wasn’t an emergency, but definitely something i wanted on hand.

a few days later he proudly handed me

the supersized  bottle on the right

note: normal bottles of various spices are about 4″ high.

our original vial of adobo was a hair over 6″.

the 1 lb, 12 oz canister of adobo i am downright afraid to measure.

needless to say, we now have enough

to last us until our 14 yr old moves out for her first year of dorm life…

and i so wanted to say “what makes you think that if 8oz is good, 28 oz is better?”

but i know there are times i’ve headed out to the lys

to replace a misplaced dpn

and returned home with enough yarn

in tow to create a sweater, or two.

so i zipped my lip.

and smiled.

‘better’ taken from 8:8 of corinthians.
