Cynically Optimistic

Now that I've got a kitchen, and a roommate who likes to cook and eat, I've been trying out new recipes. Most of the time we just use whatever we have lying around the house. The other day, Encarni got out some Spanish recipe magazines and books and was looking for something interesting. We kept coming across ingreedients neither of us could translate, or decipher from the picture. Google to the rescue.

This brings us to Nutmeg, a.k.a. Nuez Moscata. Who knew all the crazy stuff this thing could do. If you eat 3 whole nutmegs, that's a lethal dose. And if you eat2 tablespoons of powdered nutmeg, it's effects are hallucinogenic and toxic. Don't believe me? Check it out. Can be metabolized to form TMA and Mescaline in the body. Freaky Deaky!
