Spice of the Month - October

You ever try a new spice once and then the jar sits in your spice rack for years, never touched again?

Spice of the Month gives you the opportunity to try new herb and spice blends from around the world without having to commit to buying the whole jar.  We give you a recipe or two and enough spice to cover the recipes.  You take it home and try it.  If you like it, great!  If not, toss it.  

Stop by the front desk to grab a bag of this month's spice:

October's Spice of the Month is Xawaash Spice Mix.  Prounced "HA-wash," this is basically the "season-all" of Somalia.  Featuring lots of wonderful warmth-producing spices, this one seemed perfect for the days getting colder in October.

(Spice of the Month is a free program from the Pleasant Hills Library.  Donations to offset the cost of future spices of the month are always welcome.)
