I have made a trip into the big city, Calgary. I have a ton of things to do. My haircut, my dentist, my banker, my accountant, my car servicing ... and ... shopping!
I have moved to a small city about 5 hours away and still have not relocated many facets of my life. But if anyone from Swift Current is reading this, they know how excited we are when we 'get out' and go somewhere to shop.
When I arrived I stopped at Lina's for Italian food specialities. While there I picked up a copy of
City Palate and read it from cover to cover. The gem I found that was new to me was
The Silk Road. It was exactly what I craved.
This is a spice shop. A really nice spice shop. I went in to buy cinnamon!
Okay, to recap my purchases... I bought 3 kinds of cinnamon - Vietnamese Saigon Cassia, Sri Lankan true cinnamon and Indonesian Karintje Cassia, ras el hanout, curry leaves, juniper berries, Morita chipotle chiles, ground Ancho chiles, ground Marash chiles, Szechuan peppercorns, nigella seeds, and cayenne pepper.
I could have bought a whole bunch more. Next time!
