Spice it Up
In returning to California for much of my 4th year, I will be leaving behind some great places in Chicago…so I have been trying to make it out to as many of these places as possible during my last week here. Now i am not talking about places like Hancock or Navy Pier…I am pretty sick of them after taking every friend who has visited me to the usual tourist route.
No I am referring to places like one of my cooking repositiories, The Spice House. In preparation for not being able to bike out every week for any spice I feel like trying, here is a short list of things I am bringing back to my kitchen:
Dehydrated Lime Peel
Dried Lavender Flowers
Dutched Cocoa Powder
Tandoori Chicken Seasoning
Parsely FLakes-fancy california (yes they really are called that)
Turkish Bay Leaves
3 (count em!) Tahitian Vanilla Beans
Bacon Bits
Syrian Sumac
Ground Mahleb
Turkey Brining Mix
Trinidad Lemon Garlic Marinade
Dehydrated Minced Orange Peel
Pure Granulate Garlic Powder
Pure Orange Extract
Saigon Cassia Cinnamon
Lake Shore Drive Seasoning (LSD spice? snicker snicker)
Superior Spanish Saffron
Pepper Orange Seasoning
White Truffle Oil
Roasted Granulated Garlic
Baharat Spice Mixture
Smoked Spanish Paprika , hot
Ground Sweet Ancho Chile Pepper
Ground Habanero Chile Powder
Dill Weed
Gateway to the North Maple Sugar Seasoning
Salmon SeasoningSo if you happen to be in Cali during the next 6 months, stop by for some “Good Eats”.

@Rveblade - Cool I dont charge much
I sure will try to make it out to CA shortly.. we’ll see how this expedition goes.
Hey, if you make it out to Australia several years from now you’ll have to look up my friend “roach” who’s going to open the first authentic (Tex) Mexican restaurant there
@The_Moesta - haha well i dont do takeout, but i am planning a trip to australia after i match…a place to stay and perhaps a tour guide would definetely be worth a meal or two
Can I get take out? maybe delivery do you deliver to the southern hemisphere?
@GrrShhNguyen - hey i posted my 4th year schedule, so you know exactly where i will be…get yours up, so i know if you are in socal
wow, that sounds fancy. and. . . I will be in California in the next 6 months! you’d better not be on away rotations!
I grew up in east bay (SF)…and visited last year During easter weekend.
Next time I adventure to Cali…I’ll post it.
@CarmenDeBizet - oh this is just the list of things i picked up that day…cardamom and a bunch of others i dont have fancy schmancy versions of
Mmm. I read this and I feel a bit embarrassed to say I don’t recognize a lot of the items on your list. Can we add cardamom to the list? That is one that comes from the country I was born in and candy is even made with it. Yum.
