This is a picture of a pill box. Except it doesn't have pills in it.

It has my daily doses of nature's medicine: spices! From left to right: cinnamon, chili flakes, dried thyme, cumin, paprika, curry and garlic powder.

I also brought a small container of salt, although it turns out salt is available in abundance so it was less than necessary.

I've been trying to add spices to as much as possible, since I have so much. My salad was topped with thyme, garlic powder and paprika. I'm planning to add chili flakes to my pasta tomorrow, and I've got a rice/bean/spinach/hummus dish planned that would be might tasty with some curry.

Cumin still needs some inspiration; I think it might work in a peanut butter, tofu, sweet potato dish I have planned, maybe alongside some garlic powder and a touch of almond milk to make a sauce. I'm still not convinced that those flavors will work together, but I'm open to trying.

In any case, I'm pretty happy with this little discovery. Just make sure you pick a pill box with tightly closing separated containers that also open separately. Keep all but one closed as you fill it; and do try to keep savory spices away from sweet!! Notice that the garlic powder and the curry are quite far from the cinnamon!
