Spices Galore!

July 21, 2011

And I thought I knew were my food came from. Boy, was I wrong! I couldn't identify half of these plants at first. All I can say is I better be allowed to bring these spices back into the U.S. custom agents! Check out our tour guide Ali G. Yes, self named after the Sacha Baron Cohen character. And he was that funny!


I seriously spent half of my money on spices! Hope people are hungry for curry!


Sonne and I drinking spice tea on the spice farm.


Cinnamon - I didn't even know it's just the bark off a tree!


Vanilla beans - an orchid plant no less. (I knew that one from my trip to the orchid garden in Costa Rica a few summers back. The garden where I accidentally dropped the world's smallest orchid!)


All spice


Palm frond clothing - soon to be all the rage with SF hipsters.


Nutmeg


Louise and I wearing natural lipstick from annatto. Yeah - that didn't wash off for hours!
