Pottering in the kitchen is good exercise today. My foot is behaving so far.

Soaking black beans (for dish), chickpeas (for freezer, they are great to turn out and bake or add to an Indian tomatoey base, or saute with some aromatics, whatever), dried shiitake (for weekday salads and miso soups) and some dried bean curd sticks (for miso soups and salads, even cooking with rice).

I found a packet of sprouted brown basmati rice in the pantry. A great find! I am nearly out of white basmati so it will fit nicely in between finishing that bag and picking up another 5kg of my usual aged basmati.

Grinding up some black pepper for cooking purposes, filling the spice jars/dabba.

Filling the large turmeric container that has holes one side and open on the other side (I love this container from About Life, even tho plastic, but it is on it's last use, I think. I've used it for maybe 10 years? give or take. Time for a new (glass) one.)
