"If you can't cook 'em, try sprouting 'em."

I don't think ball bearings can sprout.

For a long time I used a wonderful curry powder from G.B. Ratto's of Oakland, California. It has a wonderful, flowery taste and smell, not like supermarket curry powder. However, they don't do mail-order anymore. I don't even know if they mix their own any more. A thousand miles is rather far to go to check it out.

However,if anybody here lives in the Bay area, I think it would be worth checking out. If you call more than once they may actually answer the phone.

If I didn't have three packages of curry powder already, I'd buy the curry paste, Crowhugger, so don't think I'm ignoring you.   Thanks for all the tips.
