SpicesandHerbs




 

A shake of this a pinch of that
Without our spices and herbs
Our life would be flat

Salt and pepper, garlic and onion
a lack of which
creates a Curmudgeon

Ginger, cinnamon, Vanilla and nutmeg for Baking
Saffron of course the king for rice
and Rich bread making



Cayenne, Chives, Paprika and peppers for chili
Sage for the turkey, Rosemary for Chicken
And Fish without dill
some think is plain silly

Ah, yes the spices and herbs
dress up our  mundane meals
And has even been known
To cure our ills.
