i think i'm addicted to nutmeg

[flowerbug]

it is my biggest reason for liking eggnog, rice pudding, custards, brandy alexanders and well, pretty much anything else i can think of sprinkling it on.

i know it can be psychoactive if you eat a lot of it at once, and i've not ever experienced anything unusual in waking life, but i do admit that i have had some strange dreams. the problem is that i also have strange dreams without it too...

If you come anywhere close to me,

flowerbug,

you are now at risk of being discombobulated by mace.

Nutmeg is the secret ingredient in my favorite steak spice.

That steak sauce,

@Dirtmechanic ,

would likely be better with mace.

i don't know, it may just reflect that i have bought lower quality nutmeg

I will try it if I run across some. Its from the same plant so its probably similiar. I wonder how the more subtle flavor will make it through searing a steak without disappearing.

i would be ok trying that, but must skip the black pepper and perhaps the paprika. sometimes i've had reactions to that.

that would be the makings for a huge number of steaks!

Yes it will serve a steakhouse for a week. But if you multiply each number by 5mL, then you start with a tablespoon of salt, a teaspoon of everything else, and 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg or mace as you prefer!

Just caught the last 5 minutes of New Scandinavian Cooking.

As soon as the picture comes on, Andreas is fishing around in his vest pocket and pulls out a nutmeg seed. He grates it on his "pollock gratin" and comments, "you don't want to use too much, about 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon. Nutmeg tends to dominate."

I think that this is the recipe for 3# of fish and a couple of eggs.

i did not have any nutmeg yesterday. now that the rice pudding is gone i have no excuse to use it on much of anything. i'm heading into dietary lockdown mode here for a while too, aka KeepaDaPieHoleShut for the next week or two.
