The spice of life! Shake things up. Give your taste buds a jolt any time of day just to have a new experience! Why not? I grabbed some spices from my former residence yesterday and brought them to my new place. One of the jars I grabbed was a hot & spicy mix that I didn't even remember ever buying before! I knew it was time to shake things up. Today, for lunch, I opened a can of Progresso soup. It's one of my favorites with little meatballs in it. It can be pretty bland, but I really like it. However, after I heated it up, I shook in some hot spices. I wanted to see if I liked the soup better or worse with some of these spices. And wow! The soup was sensational and it even cleared my sinuses, which was an extra bonus! I will definitely be trying these spices on a lot of things, including the pork chop I have put aside for dinner. Time to make my life "sizzle" a little bit! How about you? Spicy? Or not so much? -Claudia-

@CRK109 thai food are mostly hot and spicy but they taste so good. I even tried eating their "kao pad"(fried rice) with red chillis.

I am all spice for sure. I love spicy hot stuff. I make a curry that I really love and heals all ills. Good idea there to shake the spice in the Progresso Claudia. Hope you are keeping well and the little cat too.

I spent the last two days bringing a few more things over from the old place, so it's starting to feel like home. I need to get to Walmart to buy some organizational boxes to keep "like" with "like", but what I have going on so far seems to be working. I've had a few days of just being too busy, so it will be nice to have a few days just to stay in and get some more rest and settle in. :)

Not so much! But I know a bit of one spice or another can really perk up a bland meal.

That's very true! It doesn't have to be something hot at all. I remember when I was younger and first married, I played with a lot of different spices to see how they all tasted. It was a true learning experience! lol

I have made some hot wings in the past that burned long after you were done eating them. So I am going to say I am pretty spicy lol

I love hot & spicy food. I often add chili or pepper on my soup. I also do the same for the sauce of steamed dumplings.
