I put my backup spices in a big lock-n-lock bin on a shelf away from the galley until I worked out what I really needed. The more exotic cuisines you explore, though, the more spices you accumulate!Dan N Jayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17910909942198901223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4708230140827355204.post-57805961632252320902016-05-07T15:55:12.748+01:002016-05-07T15:55:12.748+01:00LOL!

It blew my poor little mind! Why are we carting around salt and pepper separately? Oh the humanity. I'm really glad to have found your blog through the A-Z!

Instead, I decided to be patient and wait until the Z post arrived. Glad I did! :-)<br /><br />By the way, that funky spiky fruit is called rambutan. I initially discovered it in SE Asia, but saw it in the South Pacific as well. Very tasty! Similar to lychee.<br /><br />Liesbet @ <a href="%E2%80%9Dwww.roamingabout.com%E2%80%9D" rel="nofollow">Roaming About – A Life Less Ordinary</a> Liesbethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13402741679152508367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4708230140827355204.post-21284013245909130282016-05-01T15:34:44.741+01:002016-05-01T15:34:44.741+01:00Congratulations on completing the challenge!

I think the spice blends idea is a good one. Perhaps I will begin creating some myself.

That was 9 years ago (okay, maybe they're not still good after all; I really wouldn't know -- cooking isn't one of my strong suit). <br /><br />It's been a lot of fun following you during the A to Z.
