The saffron arrived today. Turns out the Sur la Table clerk I spoke with made a mistake in telling me how much saffron is in the box. It's not 10 oz. (which would indeed be an astronomical amount of saffron), but 1 oz. I opened up the tin and pulled out the plastic baggie inside so you can see just how much an ounce of saffron is:

It's a lot (my counter tiles are two inches square, for scale). I won't be running out for a loooooooong time.

Does it surprise you that I am now kicking myself for uncritically accepting that you would be getting such a giant quantity of saffron? Damn you, Consumer Ec challenge tests!
