spice it up

i appreciate spices.
for its.
flavour. texture. smell. colour. nutrition.
the history of spices goes back 7000 years!
to the days where sailing ships were carrying
indian spices to egypt, arabia and mesopotamia.
in the middle ages they used to exchange gold for 
cinnamon and pepper. 
these days we just do not notice the 'real luxuries.'
i was at the spice bazaar yesterday and bought 
a sachet of my favourite spice - cinnamon sticks. 
cinnamon sticks for me is a substitute for sugar!
