Now that we have a plant cart large enough to hold bigger flowerpots, I repotted the rosemary. The process went smoothly, without the old pot clinging to the plant (or vice versa), so I am hopeful. The thyme and sage can wait a day or two, but the rosemary that was crowding the little plastic container it came in.
Prompted by an online discussion and memories of the long-departed Moroccan Star restaurant, I put a cardamom pod in with the tea leaves when I made my last cup of tea. The cardamom worked well: the flavor was noticeable but didn't overpower the tea. I expect to do this again, though maybe not often right now: Penzey's is closed for at least another week, and I don't have another source of good cardamom.
We're already out of oregano and low on thyme, but the supermarket seems more likely to have good-enough jars of those. (
mrissa pointed out yesterday that even if Penzey's reopens on April 13th, which seems unlikely, there's going to be a backlog of orders, and shipping takes time. I'm used to walking into their shop on Mass Ave in Arlington.) I am vaguely annoyed at this, because I looked at their "stock up for a few months" emails in February, looked at my spice cabinet, and decided we had all the herbs and spices we needed for a while.

(being a witch, at least apparently my kind of witch, means you have random stuff floating around? Apparently?)
I was contemplating doing a curbside pickup order at Sophia's in Belmont sometime this week, and could drop same on your door or some other suitable location if you wanted.

Going to run out of some of my favourite savouries soon. Rice won't be the same without them, especially galangal.

I have a reasonable cardamom supply, but if I was using two/day in tea that would go through them a lot faster than I usually do.

I understand re using more in tea; I should get back to doing that, in fact!
