RH> OK, will probably check it out at some point.

DD> If nothing else it's an interesting read and an historical trip. The
DD> things I have tried from it have worked well. There is a bizarre one,
DD> using cayenne pepper for some eye ailments, which I've never been
DD> ready to try - preferring to eat my chilies rather than stick them in
DD> my eye.

RH> I think I'd rather eat chilis than stick them in my eye also. It's bad
RH> enough when you rub your eyes after cutting up chilis--no, I usually
RH> don't wear gloves and yes--, I'm good about remembering not to rub my
RH> eyes for the most part........but those times I forget, I've paid for
RH> forgetting.

I have never contemplated chilis in my eye -- but then it has happened.
Is there anyone who has not at least once forgotten to either wear
gloves or have a good hand washing afterwards.

 cumin seeds until they darken. When everything has cooled, combine
 all the ingredients and pound or process to a coarse powder. The
 mixture will keep for 3 months stored in an airtight jar in a cool
 place.

 the dukka.
