A Spicy Thought


I came in late in the spice game, having only appreciated the wonders of spices just a couple of years ago, when I first moved out of my family house and started cooking for me and my husband.

It's actually amazing how spices transform the taste of food, and how it can elevate a superbly bland meat like chicken breast into a culinary napalm in your mouth - in a good way! Just a bit of salt does a lot to highlight the different dimensions of the spice mix. So far, I have only used the curry powder from the handful of spicemix boxes my friend N. gave me as a coming-home present from Bangladesh, but I plan to at least use 2 of the mixes this coming week. Watch out for it!
