This sounds kind of silly I know... But I really like the way that you do the "spice pallet" for your recipes. I think that the way all of the spices look next to each other is really pretty. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! :-) For some reason I've always done this with spices when cooking?...Mainly because I tend to cook from "feel" instead of measuring, so it helps me figure out how much of something to add in relation to the other spices.
ReplyDeleteI cook the exact same way.. taste and feel. So I understood exactly what you meant in one of your first posts when you said something like, "how do you record 'half of a palmful' for a recipe?" But nevertheless, you seem to have figured it out!
