T is for Turmeric

Today's the day .......................... to spice up

A few weeks ago, I ran out of turmeric and so it was added to my shopping list for the day.  My usual shop had run out of it so I tried another - and another - and another, all to no avail.  There was not a jar of turmeric to be had in Kendal for love nor money.
