Spice Blend Road

I haven't been anywhere interesting in a while...too long of a while. So I decided that I should focus on what is around me that I find interesting. Something that is easily accessible and is "me."  I own a ridiculous amount of spices.  I go out of my way to find a spice I have never used before just so I can try it out.  I'll "out'"myself...generally my friends announce it as part of  introducing me. "Hi this is my friend ShelvatheChef."  I used to work professionally as a chef and well you can take the chef out of the kitchen... This is a mixture of coriander, cloves,  mustard seeds, cumin seeds, black peppercorns and szechuan peppercorns. I roast the seeds and crush them in a mortar and pestle to make my own spice blends. The best part of these shots was the smell.
