I've developed a new habit. When we run out of something, as I throw it away I look at the ingredients list. I ask, "Do we need all these odd-sounding things?" and, "Is there a way I can do this better?"
Often, the answer is yes. Better, tastier, healthier, and frequently, cheaper.
We ran out of chocolate syrup this week. So we made some. It took about ten minutes, and it is wonderful.
Why not give it a try?
