the thing about spices is that you'd think that you want a whole lot! but it is a lie. you rarely want more than about a teaspoon. (nutmeg you want to use really sparingly -- like, half a tsp. also, it apparently can cause hallucinations if you eat too much of it in one sitting! amazing.) also, you never want to put spices on top of something that will be baked (like a custard or pudding), because the spice will burn.

i hope you have fun in switzerland!! when you get back, we will talk about recipes i think you might enjoy eating that are fairly easy to make. ♥

Oh man, how hilariously awful would it have been if I'd ended up with hallucinations after attempting bread pudding? /o\ I like tons of cinnamon when making cinnamon toast, but that doesn't go in the oven, and I misjudged. I look forward to talking recipes when I get back! I'm still learning (obviously), but I like cooking, :)

YAY! Hopefully it's a good time!

you know what? you could make bread and butter pudding with cinnamon toast instead of regular bread! that way you get all the cinnamon you want, but it won't burn when you bake it. :)

The way I make cinnamon toast is to put a buttload of brown sugar and cinnamon on top of normal toast, so sadly it would not work for me. I'd hoped to find some cinnamon bread at the grocery store, but (as usual) it wasn't there. SIGH

that would still work! really! just put the toast in where you would put bread! \o/

haha oh man, nutmeg. when i was young and free-spirited (or, all right, six months ago) my roommates and i decided to smoke some because we'd heard it got you high. you can only really use a whole nutmeg and you have to grind it up and it tastes awful! also doesn't make you trip balls, which was semi-disappointing, just gives you this weirdly pleasant buzzy high. but my question is, who the hell was the special snowflake that decided to try smoking nutmeg in the first place? so weird!

and that was my overshare of the night. :(
