Have you ever gandered at unadulterated cinnamon sticks and nutmeg before? I haven't, so I was utterly fascinated by these spices that were gifted to me by a sweet friend this past week all the way from the Caribbean. They smell so amazing, and I am loving the sweet and spicy aroma that is wafting throughout our little home right now. They look so legit that I am tempted to just let them sit there and look pretty, but I want to make use of them, too. I didn't even know we have to grate the nutmeg...good thing we got a grater not too long ago. What a terrific reason to make gingerbread now, and other wintry sweets. What else would be a seasonal treat to concoct from cinnamon and nutmeg? Happy Friday, guys and dolls. Hope your weekend is absolutely swell.
oh my goodness, how fabulous! I'm thinking lots and lots of hot, sweet, wintery drinks! mulled cider?! xoxo

ReplyDelete'unadultered' I die! Love your writing style! I had never seen any before myself. I didn't even know what the nutmeg was until I read. I love wintery scents. So cozy!

They smell heavenly! I pass by this corner in a local mall more frequently this time of the year because of their non-processed cinnamon and nutmegs :D
ReplyDeleteSo cool! I would feel so pioneer-woman-ish if I made treats from raw goods like that! Love. Cinnamon bread, Pumpkin Spice White Hot Chocolate, any yummy drinks! Enjoy your spices, sweet lady. xo

Little by little I am incorporating more whole spices into my cooking. Cumin is a favorite to grind but I've actually been grating my own nutmeg forever. My little nutmeg grater broke but I am so cheap I still use it and just try and be really careful not to grate my fingers :) The smell is fantastic!

ReplyDeleteCinnamon and nutmeg - so good. I've only ever seen them in powder form so this is pretty awesome. Have fun with all the epic baking you're going to be doing!

ReplyDeleteYou can probably grate the nutmeg with a Microplane zester. Enjoy!
