Being so 'Sweet & Spicy', I figured it was all too appropriate that I memorize...what else but...a list of spices. I'm going for practicality as well as being outrageously apropos, because it happens also that I love to cook, so the memorization of this list will undoubtedly prove to be useful. The strategy? For spices that are more difficult to memorize I'll try to incorporate their actual properties in the image I create for them. For example, Marjoram, which has grayish-green leaves and is a member of the mint family--so I'll picture a soldier in his gray-green colored uniform saluting and saying "Major I am" while marching in place on a pile of York peppermint patties. Yeah, this can totally work. (Note: The actual list here is 60 things long, but it pains me to give up the symmetry) | ||
