I feel like a cliché.

Was going to make a sausage pasta bake for tea just because I fancied it.

The recipe requires oregano. Do I have any? No.

Can I drive to the shop to get any? No, because I still have no balance.

Yeah. It's just the virus running it's course though so I'm not worried. If it's still bad this time next week then I'll go back but until then I'm not worrying. It has got a bit better - just not enough that I feel confident to drive.

Do you have any marjoram in your cupboard? That, or a mix of basil and parsley work pretty well as substitutes for oregano.

Of course, you're probably not in the mood for the dish anymore now. :P

I gave up and decided to open a jaw of something instead. I'm thinking a trip to the shop tomorrow might be in order.

That icon is so... cute. Lol.

I often use this great website at foodsubs.com, which has info on just about every ingredient in the world. Their entry on oregano:

Substitutes: marjoram (This is very similar, but milder and sweeter. Substitute two parts of oregano for three parts of marjoram.) OR thyme OR basil OR summer savory

I like using basil for oregano. Of course, I also like being not dizzy and unbalanced, but you'll be getting better! (how long is this virus going to take you to go through?)
