September Challenge - Spice - Nutmeg

Day 14 of the September Food Challenge - Spice.

When I was young the only spices in the house were ones for "sweet" dishes - mixed spice for puddings and cakes and whole nutmeg to be grated on top of Egg Custard. Those for spicy savoury dishes - curry, chilli, etc. - were a definite no-no.

So here is a whole nutmeg, which means that I now have a living room that smells very nicely of nutmeg - enough to make you peckish.....

Having seen this, adding in my garlic I just need a third shot to make a nice triptych for the kitchen.

I'm almost up to date on people's journals - not many more to go.
