Comments
Every ingredient is a standard pantry staple available at any of the major Charlotte chains—oregano, thyme, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, and black pepper are all grocery basics. At roughly $15–20 total for spices that yield 48 servings, the cost per serving is negligible, under 50 cents. The stated 10 minutes is honest; this is just measuring and stirring dried spices into a jar. It reheats indefinitely because it doesn't reheat at all—you're making a dry seasoning blend that sits in your cupboard and extends the life of dozens of future meals, which is genuinely useful for a Charlotte kitchen in any season.
