Thorough Examination
Lily began by wiping the counters with her hand and looking into each nook and cranny. She noted that certain spices were used more often than others but their use was not unusual. There were a few crumbs scattered on the counter from the previous day’s breakfast. But nothing to indicate any harmful ingredients.
The Pantry
She then moved to the pantry. The suspicious item could be hidden behind boxes of pastas or cereals, or in jars with home canned vegetables and fruit. She inspected each jar and box carefully, looking for signs of tampering, or anything abnormal, but found nothing.
