] Re: Cardamon- Was: Today, the scent I'm wearing

[Guest guest]

<Hi Andrine and All Cardamomoms

Cardamom... and I think of that fabulous Indian Icecream Kulfi..... ohoh so time

consuming but the results at the end so so scrummy yummy.... cardamom, milk,

sugar and nuts..

the milk boiled right down... then with ingredients poured into cones.... frozen

and eaten with lychee or mango..... it has to be my favourite icecream.

MMMMMM I love kulfi. Never made it though. I live near little India(Devon

Street in Chicago BTW), easy access to great Indian food and sweets. Ohhhh with

mango and lychee...my favorite fruits!

<Hello ,

I know the restaurants and stores of Little India on Devon Avenue,

too. Next time you are there, go into the Indian grocery store

called Patel Brothers (north side of Devon) and check out all the

Spices and their prices! You'll be going home with a truckload of

cardamons, cloves, etc.

India, the " Mother of Fragrances. " Thanks, Mom.

Hello, Mark

I think I know of the place. I will have to check it out. Pretty much all of

the Indian grocery stores have ginormous bags of spices for cheap. I still have

bags I got years ago!

Janita, I read that and almost went weak in the knees. Cardamom, for

me, is addictive. I can't get enough of it, and whatever the

concoction would be that it would go into, if someone said to me, " Do

you think we should put cardamom in this? " My answer would be a very

instantaneous and resounding " YES! " No matter what it is -- soap,

cookies, curry, lefse, oatmeal, perfume, bath bombs, car wax --

anything! And lychee... And mango... No wonder I'm swooning. I

love those to distraction too.

Andrine replies:

Okay -- so that's the second thing I miss about living in the big

city (I wrote a friend the other day and mentioned only missing one

thing about living in the city). You lucky guy, ! If I lived

near a Little India, I'd be there all the time. I think my other

ethnic cooking would unfairly get shoved into the back seat of the

food wagon.

Thinking of cardamom in everything...
