You could wander through streets full of cinammon, nutmeg and cumin smells.

I love the creative ways companies are packaging and describing the earthy qualities of their spices. I am a sucker and always go for the glass bottles that show off the beauty and color and depth of spices. <BR/><BR/>I voted cumin. <BR/>Although, I love saffron and fennel and allspice. <BR/><BR/>Secretly, I put cinnamon in everything from pancakes and chocolate cake to chili. I've always told my daughters that I put love in their food. I hope when they are out on their own, they will taste cinnamon somewhere and think of me...selfish? corny? maybe.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14022976523785423847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225058560254819105.post-24818372332578560182008-02-26T11:40:00.000-05:002008-02-26T11:40:00.000-05:00While I've learned to appreciate a variety of spic...While I've learned to appreciate a variety of spices (other than the "Minnesota spices" that I grew up with -- as my husband likes to refer to salt and pepper), I still had to go with cinnamon as my favorite.
