On Spice
Book Review
My sister recommended this book to me, and it seamed every chapter contained new charms sprinkled throughout. One of my curiosities is how much Caitlin PenzeyMoog had to research and how much she already knew about this topic. Clearly she has a deep reservoir from her family history; however, there is a surprising amount of historical depth in this book. Who knew that spices were so historical? Caitlin apparently does. Spices are a part of the rich and the poor. The ancients and the moderns. The evil and the good. And thus, with seemingly every deliciously captivating story, spices are somewhere within. Occasionally there is a shocking erotic element to spices, and PenzeyMoog also brings out many biblical references as well. Wanna spice up your life? Take a pinch or two of this book!
I am nuts about books. I read on all kinds of topics. I attempt to review each book I read for the sake of my own enrichment as well as conversation starters with others.
You never know what you will find in an attic! Usually there is a hodgepodge of things buried under dust.
Most of what is included here are notes to myself. The majority of folks will not find interest in these posts.
