Spoons, cups, and cardamom; was: turbinado sugar

[Guest guest]

From Gourmet Sleuth: " Cardamom (frequently misspelled and

mispronounced " cardamon " ) is the common name for certain plant

species native to India and southeastern Asia, and for their aromatic

seeds. The true cardamom has large leaves and white flowers with blue

stripes and yellow borders; it grows to about 3 m (about 10 ft) in

height. The fruit is a small capsule with 8 to 16 brown seeds; the

seeds are used as a spice. "

 

I've found Cardamom is used extensively in Indian, Asian, and

Scandanavian cooking. It's delish in everything from Basmati rice to

coffee cake. I even throw a couple seeds in when I make a pot of

coffee.

I also have a measuring spoon (and cup) thing going on, too. lol. and a

stainless steel thing, so when I find measuring spoons, or cups, made of

stainless, I go nuts! rofl!

 

For me, the herb/spice is corriander. I have whole seeds in a grinder, and

use it much more than the pepper grinder or the salt, on just about

anything.

 

I am wondering, I know nothing of cardamom! What do you use it on?

Oh, honey!! I have stainles posts too, and a tea kettle, and a couple

thermos containers, and a coffee cup, and...... You get the picture!! lol.

 

The other material I have a thing for is bamboo. I have all sorts of bamboo

utensils (they hold up much better than other wood, that most wooden

utensils are made of). Recently I ate at a friends house for a pot luck,

and he had bamboo plates!! Lighter than paper, but sturdy, and reusable.

Now I need to find those!!!! rofl.
