I love this series. Reading these books makes me want to try new spices in my cooking and visit Seattle someday.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Annette! I hope you get to make a visit in person -- it's a tremendous city. Meanwhile, thank goodness for armchair travel!
DeleteBest Job I had was working as a secretary for a parole agent. It was a job where we both worked as partners to the work required of us. I would like to work in a spice shop. Since starting to read this series, I've learned so much about spices. [email protected]
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting job, Dianne -- and yes, partnership and collaboration can make a job so much more productive and enjoyable.
DeleteAnd I'm glad you're learning a few things about spicery -- me, too!
