  1. Such an interesting concept and you made a great list! Only 12 of the ingredients that you have listed would make it on my list ...lol 😉 ...so I'd have to get my thinking cap on and make some substitutions. Happy T Day wishes! Hugs, Jo x

    1. It was a hard choice. Like should I choose olive oil instead of butter? Which is more versatile?

  2. Coffee ☕ is missing from the list! Happy T Day, Valerie

    1. No one in the household drinks coffee, and I'm the only one that drinks tea

  3. You don't need to list yeast -- you can get it out of the air with some flour and water. That is, make a starter! Otherwise it looks like a sensible list.

    1. I've tried to make a starter, but didn't have success with it or the baking.

  4. I think we all eat the same things over and over.....at least that's what my father used to complain about....lol. ;)

  5. Yikes! I'm glad I don't have to come up with that list. Happy T Tuesday!

  6. Interesting list making- I'd have to really think about that but it def. would be vegetarian;) Happy T day!

  7. Only 11 of your list would make it on mine. And by now you know I would substitute coffee for tea and 1/2 and 1/2 for milk (grin). I like the obviously clever and unique take on this week's T Tuesday post, though CJ.

  8. How interesting. My list would be similar to yours, but i might have to squeeze in olive oil and wine in there. I could substitute the butter with olive oil but the wine? That might have to go in stead of the carrots (I'm not giving up chocolate!)
    Anyway, I am really thankful that it is only a fun thought experiment and not real life.
    Happy T-Day,
    Lisca

    1. I debated about olive oil instead of butter, but decided I wanted cake and cookies 😺

  9. That is tough to do. I've been thinking for a couple minutes and trying to think about what I can put together with other things. Thanks goodness we don't need to limit our diet to 20 things. Hope you had a super T day. The weather was amazing, wasn't it? Hugs-Erika

    1. Today I taught my online calligraphy class so it was a fun day. I also went outside to get the mail wearing only a sweater! Looking forward to warm temps tomorrow

  10. 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 14 (there is a fairytale on this), 17, 19, 20.
    Plus... ? Difficult.
    Almonds, basil, olive oil, kale, harissa, boy, seems either I don´t need much or I´m not good enough at cooking yet! Crazy, we have sooo much, but do we need all that?

    1. I don't think I've heard Die Saltzprinzessin before. Interesting concept of what we value the most.

  11. When I lived in Italy I always made my cakes with olive oil. Now I use vegetable oil for my cakes, but I grease the pan with butter so the cake does have a little bit of a buttery taste (and smell).

    1. I'll have to look for some recipes using olive oil to bake with.

  12. I like your coffee display. That cat is awesome. Your list is pretty much my list as well. Have a great day.

    1. That cat treat bowl is a Halloween decoration from a few years ago that never got put away 😺

  13. My list would be pretty much the same, but I would add spinach! Love your display, especially the angel and kitty! Big Hugs!

    1. What would you take away from my list to add your spinach

  14. Sounds like a great list, but I would substitute peanut butter for yeast, and ground pepper for bell peppers, maybe cheddar for mozzarella cheese. Happy T Day!

    1. I'm not a fan of peanut butter, but I should have included it because Himself really likes it

  15. I don't want to contemplate this choice. :-(

    1. It was a fun problem, but hard to make a choice

    All the best Jan
