Bought my son a waffle iron for Christmas once.  He used it at first and then became bored.  These recipes are proof that he simply lacked creativity and cooking inspiration.

Top 10 Tweets for First Quarter of 2020

Food Ways Presented by Everyday Exotic Spices has a companion Twitter account which was started in 2015. As of April 2020, the account has about 500. The results of my examination of the Twitter analytics data indicate that even though the follower count is low, people who view my posts stream really like the tweets. 

For the first quarter of 2020 (January, February, and March) the Tweets earned 65.4K impressions. That may not sound impressive to Twitter influencers who have millions of followers. But impresses me. At least there are some people out there who like the EES tweets. Apparently, people really like avocados. LOL.

Below are the top 10 tweets for the first 3 months of 2020. If you are not already a follower of @EverydaySpices, you are invited to become one.

Use of Spices Explained for Foodies by Chris Donald (Guest Post)

To make the food good and very much palatable you will need to use the spices as well as various condiments. These spices will make the food more appealing and for sure there is no way that you can eat food which is bland and non-spicy.

The herbs and spices that need to be added to the food to make it tasty will be based on two things and these are the freshness of spices as well as proper quantity.

Proper mix or proportion is very important for the addition of spices. Most of the spices come in the powdered form or in the leaves form.

The compatibility of spice with certain types of food is a must to know. You should know which spice to use with which food. This operates on the same principle as the wine does which is you should know what wine to serve with what kind of food.

There is no sure shot method of the quantity which can be used in the food. Your help for the quantity is the online food sites as well as recipe books available all over. Make sure that you do not add more spices because more is generally not acceptable but less is acceptable.

If you are reading the recipe books they generally tend to border on the more commercial side of things which means the quantities and styles are more over the top. You may need to use your own estimate for the home cooked food.

For keeping the freshness intact of the spices make sure that you buy the good brands which have good packaging as well as make sure that once you have opened them that you seal them properly to retain the flavor and the aroma.
