Fun Stuff

I'll bet most of you didn't know that I used to be an Office Manager and Bookkeeper before I became "The Spice Lady" It's really interesting, I used to wear a ton of hats, and ran the office so the "boss" could go build their business. What happened? I guess the law of supply and demand, and a few other factors. I really tried to get small offices to the point where an idiot could run them.... and ended up working myself out of a job, because... an idiot could run the office. Sooner or later, I was burnt out.

One of our customers had it right: This recipe is SPOT ON for Easter!!! Glazed Carrots are a Gorgeous addition to any holiday table, and a real cinch to put together.

She asked Mom and I to make her something she could put in milk to make it taste like commercial Chai. It took some time, an no little amount of playing with that recipe to make it right. In the end, would you believe a pregnancy craving is what started our BEST selling blend??

Maybe we met at an isle in the supermarket, maybe at a Farmer's Market, maybe through a Recipe Video.A lot of these first interactions between you and I create such a rich history that often, I honestly forget WHICH "event" started it all!  It could all start with.... Bumping into a stranger at the storeAn infectious smile when one of us needed a brighter dayA good smell caught your attentionMurphy's law rears it's ugly head and we had a good laugh These little events make for huge relationships with a another human being. Sometimes they're born out of "need", sometimes,...
