Oh my gosh... I had to have a speedy dinner tonight before going to church so I grabbed a frozen meal out of the freezer. I stripped the plastic film off from the apple cobbler, poked holes in the rest to vent the rest of the meal and put it in the microwave. I didn't put it on for s long as instructed because I like to add a little something to the main meal. I tasted the apple cobbler and thought it needed something extra, too. I got out some cinnamon and some oatmeal for the top. I took a big spoonful of cinnamon and sprinkled it over the apple cobbler, but it didn't look right. Then I looked at the bottle I had taken from the pantry... it was CUMIN!!!! I like spicy things, but not my apple cobbler! I scraped as much of it off as I could and got the cinnamon, and, yes, I looked at it several times before putting the spoon in! I added a little margarine, mixed it all up and sprinkled some oatmeal on top; I also added some salsa and cheese to the blackened chicken entree and prayed!
The entree part was scrumptious. The apple cobbler wasn't bad, either, a little burn in the mouth, but I couldn't taste the cumin. Think I'll learn a lesson from this? Probably not...

Hehehe! I ground my own 5-spice for Chinese food once, and put the extra in an old Oregano jar. A few months ago I was making sauce for spaghetti, and accidently used it. Didn't notice for awhile until it got cooking and I started smelling something really funky. Cloves. urk! Thanks for the giggle!
