Greetings everyone! This month’s Mixology Monday is popping up on December 15 – a little more than a week away. Tiki Drinks & Indigo Firmaments has the honors of hosting this merry edition of our monthly fest and I’ve chose the theme to be Spice.
Spice should give you plenty of room to play – from the winter warmers of egg nog, wassail and mulled products to the strange and interesting infusions of pepper, ceubub, grains of paradise, nutmeg — what have you! I would like to stretch the traditional meanings of spice (as the bark, seed, nut or flowering part of a plant used for seasoning) to basically anything used for flavoring that isn’t an herb. Salt? Go for it. Paprika? I’d love to see you try. I hear that cardamom is hot right now.
So have your entries posted by 11:59pm on the night of the 15th and send me your links (and pics if you choose) in email to craig \at\ nwtiki \dot\ com (and/or comment to this post). Time to get crackin’!
Started a topic over on eGullet:
MxMo XXXIV–Spice
Does it matter if we combine spices with herbs?
Cause that’s what’s happening on this side of the fence! 😛
As long as there is spice in the recipe, suits me fine!
Not to be a nit picker, but 11:59PM WHERE?
If I’m late with my post and rush across a few timezones, can I still get it in?
(Now, what the hell am I gonna do with spice…)
11:59 PST. I’ll make exceptions for Hawaiians, Alaskans, and Pacific Islanders this side of the international date line.
Hi Craig. Hope all is well with you and Heather in your neck of the woods. Here is our spice entry.
