spices

First time in a lot of years have I been sleeping more than 6 hours, let alone 12 hours!!! That's like a record for me, except when I was a baby, my mom told me that I used to sleep for 16 hours a day. I should have been a cat when I was younger.

What should I do today? Well, I have my very good friend from Taiwan and my boyfriend coming to visit me next week, so perhaps a little cleaning up wouldn't hurt. I started with my kitchen and I discovered I have actually bought a lot of spices throughout my 6 years of living in this apartment. I love spices. Spices are like perfume, they are never the "meat" per se, but it's something that I wouldn't cook without, and for sure I never leave home without putting on perfume probably since the age of 16. Spices give a dish a unique flavour, it makes the dish irresistible, spices is what makes you remember the dish. Very often, that's how men remember women, by their smell, and likewise for women.
