Plan for February 23

The February invite, just so you know what challenge you're up for (also sent to group email):

The theme is spice- this doesn't necessarily mean we're looking for dishes with heat; I challenge everyone to pick a spice they've never cooked with before and try a dish that features it. Or a spice you really think you don't like (for me this would be Anise) and give it another chance to see if you actually do like it or seal the deal that it's true skank in your world.

If you're not sure where to find a recipe with your spice, allrecipes.com has an advanced feature that will let you search recipes by ingredient, other culinary sites might too.

All right ladies, the challenge is on.

p.s. - I'll be setting the table with label holders so we can identify the spice theme in our dishes (or wines let's be real) so if you find you really don't like that spice? Or you had to buy a lot that you won't use up (remember your Cardamom, Sharon? I STILL have some), bring it along and we'll see if anybody else wants to take some off your hands. I have snack size baggies galore.

p.p.s - Speaking of that, start bringing your damned tupperware(r) (or whatever) again too so we can swap leftovers. I don't know when we got out of that habit but I take too much of my own food back home again most nights.
