Stories Collected While Living in France
What spices up your life, what gives it a kick? What cause your lips to pucker, what do you serve as your favorite dish? Do you like Cinnamon or is Cardamon your pinch? Do you like it hot and spicy or mild and light? Is the spice in your life or are you just nice? Do you need to shake and shout or can a simple pour do it for you?

I like spicy most of the time… but sometimes I want plain vanilla comfort food.
Smoked Paprika in bean stew.
Cardamon in Chai tea.
Cumin in potato and mushroom curry.
Chilli in dark, dark chocolate.
I decided to answer you question literally!
I like it hot!!
“Salt of the earth” I choose and try to be.
I like just enough spice to make it hot, but not fiery.
Spicy food. Red hot chili pepers. Semi-spicy life. Motorcycles and good times. Yet, I can be the blandest home-body as well!
hi Corey,
You’re the spoonful of sugar in my first cup of coffee in the morning.
Does that count?
xox
no one flavour for me, but i am partial to spice.something to stir my senses and remind me i’m alive 🙂
I would have to say…
The people in my life are the spices.
My husband is the vanilla and sugar. My daughter Noël is the cardamon. Erica is the pepper. Neal is the ground cloves and Elani is the frosting and sprinkles. =)
Variety is the spice of life 🙂
I cook with lots of garlic and paprika and season everything with love and tell everyone to kiss the cook often.
We are having a joy fest with Justin and Kim and Drew here to visit us!
Blessings!
Love you Sugar Plum!
For me a mere tickle of the tastebuds, a subtle hint of cinnamon in the butternut, a trace of cumin in the burgers, but plenty of garlic for a base note of pasta sauces and stir fries…don’t start me talking about flavours, I’ll carry on forever!
For me, simple is good.
i choose to shake ’em like maracas and do a little sulty spanish dance.
Tongue in Cheek spices up my life every day 🙂
Hi Corey,
Spices are the things that keep life exciting. So for me, in a food sense it’s got to be chillies and sugar, sugar, sugar! Though not necessarily at the same time.
Cheers, LJ
