Some might say that we have a lot of spices… I w Some might say that we have a lot of spices… I would agree.  But we don’t like to skimp on flavor and are always up for new recipes. 
Today was a spice inventory day.  Top up the spice jars and figure out where we are lacking. 
I like to buy my spices from @thespicehouse .  They are a great quality spice, but the seller for me, apart from other quality spice providers is their Flat Packs!  They cost about the same as a jar of spice in the grocery store, but come in this great resealable flat package, and a bit larger quantity.  I don’t need more spice jars, just more spice!  Also, flat packs ship free!  They are a great option for us foodies that live on the road.

Dried mushrooms are a great add to some dishes. B Dried mushrooms are a great add to some dishes.  But grating them is a bigger task than I prefer.  We have this great little gadget that fits on our immersion blender that acts as a small food processor and spice grinder. 
So today, in preparation for tonights dinner, beef and mushroom ramen (not from a package) I made mushroom powder to add to the broth.
