Thanks So Much!

I went to visit my daughter in Lansing today. I have had a Jones for Bibimbab ( wonderful Korean dish served in a hot stone bowl) for a few weeks, so we hit up Charlie Kang's . This was after checking out a couple of places for my Fenugreek. We tried Dusty's Cellar, which has a small gourmet market. Nothing there other than some coffee barbecue rub from this company and a huge bag of bottle caps in the beer making supplies. Now I don't have to pay the scrap book store prices for them to do this . And I have enough to share!

I finally found the Fenugreek at a place called Foods For Living in Okemos east of the MSU campus. They sell bulk spices and honestly, even with my trusty spice and herb manual, I still don't know what a lot of them are for. But I got almost a whole spice jar full for 95 cents! Woo hoo! I also found some brown rice syrup to use in place of honey (which I never eat) and some french lentils (so different from green or red ones). I am still in search of Marmite and Tamarind paste. I eat weird. But nothing dies either.

So here is a quickie. The tiny tag was all I stamped but I did edge my pieces in distress ink. Again, mostly scraps from the bins, and this would be a cool card to make up with other patterned word-like paper. I have seen quite a few of them recently especially KI and Reminisce. I am going to bed and my hands smell like Fenugreek (kinda curried) and Allison, I have read the different ways herbs and spices work with the body (altho I never knew about the milk stimulation bit). I always have cinnamon here for upset tummies and my gramma swore by ginger for the same thing. I also chew on parsley for bad breath. Maybe we need to go back to basics more instead of always popping a pill for something.
