There she is, my Mom. She is the head lady; our mistress of spices; our master of spices,
and she is a remarkable lady. Fifty years in the spice trade, and at the age of seventy still mills
some of the most beautiful cinnamons & cassia cinnamons sold in America. Every day.
Yes she has a little help, but she still does this every day. Today she ground rich China Tung Hing Cassia Cinnamon.
Yesterday it was the perfumy Saigon 5% steam volatile oil cassia cinnamon.
And regarding our " Mistress of Spices " group of young ladies, all spice workers here with her
from time to time, she was encouraged by both Julia Child and by the late Catherine Brandel ( of the CIA
in Greystone California ) in this idea of teaching to this group of young ladies to about spices, yes,
spices, but also to teach about this greater thing that spices are inbedded into as if a center guide post.
