Growing up spices we had were mostly salt and pepper. but there were a few spice bottles used for baking cookies like nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamom. at the time i thought spices were just for that, baking cookies! i did not know-- or understand-- or cared that a classmate from india liked curry or spicy foods because my spice knowledge was so limited.
But speaking of spicy food i discovered a ginger candy recipe wc i have tried this week. I am posting in the Recipes thread, ok.
