That's funny!
I was looking at how to make allspice the other day... nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, ginger (well 1 of those might not belong, but that was the gist of the recipe).... mmmmm, I wish I'd known it just just nutmeg:rolleyes:
 
I have to say, I had clicked on the last post since it showed up under most recent replies. The subject had my attention - so I read Andrea's response and I the quote and I thought :eek: What in the world are they talking about?? So off to the beginning of the thread I go to see (read) the whole story.

I am glad to see that someone did say Allspice is NOT Nutmeg! Here is a link to McCormick's description:

I have a horror story or two also - One of my first shows was a "friend" who thought she needed to drag people into her kitchen to chat. Too bad she didn't realize that with alcohol you get loud!!! I kept looking at her thinking she would catch my glare. Eventually I stood a waited.

The really bad one was a person who had **** roaches all over the floor. OMG - I had a hard time staying at her apartment but had to because she was wanting to sign up. I should have know that even though because of the shape of the house was how she ran her business - NOT. Oh well, live and learn. I am the eternal optomist.
 
How can we forget this one?
