5 New Spices

So I might have gone a bit overboard on preparing for this one. I did some ordering right after an intense inservice and a few days before school started, so I was a little stressed. So what to do to unwind a little? Read beautiful descriptions of exotic spices and order ALL of them.

There are still quite a few that I haven't tried yet. My favorite was the berbere seasoning. As Penzey's eloquently describes:

Awesomely hot and spicy North African-style hot pepper blend. No salt, no mild paprika, just a lot of Cayenne Red Pepper with the rich flavors of fenugreek and cardamom. It's not just hot, it's berbere hot.
