I have never heard of #6 and #8. I have just few more things than the normal salt pepper and garlic. But I use lots of it,, does that count???

Yup, got those! One that I don't have is cardamom pods.  I have a recipe that calls for them, but they are about $10 for 4 or 5 pods.  I just can't bring myself to do it...:lol:

Thanks! We have been having problems on and off for years. It all started with opening a box of oatmeal, that had hatched in my cupboard. Then I think it also comes from the bird seed we buy in bulk. It's odd just when we think we have done away with the last of them, they come back. Anyway thanks for all the tips.

hugs

I think Justin is convinced that the only thing turmeric does is turn things yellow! But I put it in the curried sweet potatoes, nonetheless! On second look, I am not sure that I have any fenugreek at this moment. Thanks for the invite.  I would love to come and visit to go yarn and spice shopping.  However, I am sure it would turn into a day in the sandbox instead!  I think David and Titus would be quite a duo!:lol:

  I will miss reading your post. Hope you get back on soon & that everything turns out okay. I noticed cardamon, is that the kind you use in bread? My aunt loves cardamon bread.

I have some saffron that I was recently given. I haven't found a recipe with which to experiment yet, and I know it's expensive!

Whoa DUDE! :lol:  Did you know that I just love this shade of green?  Totally.

Did you delete your other LLE blog?  I'm the queen of deleting Xanga blogs. :yes:  :lol: I got the newest one so I could see blogs with Xanga lock.  Crowded here at yours, as usual. :p  :p :p 

Have a most excellent day, Dear Lori! :heartbeat:, Robin

P.S.  Guess what movie we just watched from Netflix that we watched last year in July because you mentioned watching it each July 4th? We've made it our tradition to watch it the week after the Fourth.  How dorky is that? :fun:

Wish I could smell your post!  All of your herbs and spices sound wonderful!  

The fenugreek might help my cough! 

Isn't cardamon expensive - not as bad as saffron, but up there in price?

Hey Lori!  Your list maks me think about my spices and how many I should probably get rid of  because they're so old!   Hope you have a great weekend, sweetie.   Jenn
