How fascinating that you get different kinds - thanks for that, Donna. <br /><br />Spice thoughts: the spice stalls in the markets in Tunisia, heaped with chillies, saffron, coriander, and a lot of unknown red/brown/gold quantities.

I love it anyway, but a few years ago I heard it helped raise one's metabolism and after that started putting on just about anything that had a hint of sweet flavor (I was specifically working to get in shape at the time). That wasn't too much of a stretch — I had already been adding it by the unmeasured "several shakes" Emeraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00819037087504004841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19502635.post-29480175277618430182009-04-14T15:48:00.000-07:002009-04-14T15:48:00.000-07:00Marina, I like that idea a lot.
