I hear a lot of people always say I don't know what we would do with out music. Can you imagine a life with out it? Can you imagine a life with out electricity, phones, facebook? I actually think we would be fine with out facebook. I mean who wants to read about what someone is thinking...... Wait... Back to what I am thinking. I could honestly not imagine a life with out spices. They are the essence of flavor - they make everything better! I mean pork is pork, an eggplant is an eggplant, but once you introduce Mr. and Mrs. Tandori and Sumac to the equation, well now you most definitely have a party planned for your mouth. Selecting spices can be overwhelming. I know. I stick to the basics, usually... I just now started getting into more eclectic versatile spices and I've been cooking for more then 10 years. Patience, I'm learning this new world also. But using a new spice should be similar to starting a new relationship. Start slow and then gain confidence in that spice. I always think, you can always add more, but you can't take it away, and in lower fat, healthier cooking the key is flavor and spice balance and don't forget to Taste, Taste, Taste!!!
