This opinion shades only fifteen percent into heresy, I think, as it's one of the ongoing debates about Muffalettas.
Heresy! Muffalettas should not be served warm.

Now tagless for your comfort.
You know what makes that stuff even better? Keep it in the fridge so it's cool when you put it on. That's lovely. Especially when it's hot out.
That's a GREAT idea! I hadn't thought of that.

It is. You can get them in the Tenderloin (heavily Vietnamese neighborhood) here. I think it was a street food that developed during the French occupation there. Or at least, that's what I surmise from the baguette.
Vietnamese is a cross between classic French and Southeast Asian. You get beef soups infused with Asian herbs and French spices. Interesting melding of cuisines.
That said, I've had pho a few times, and I've never liked it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What's the difference between an herb and a spice?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Strike whatever I put here. I was wrong.

Spices are nuts, berries, bark, and stamen.
Ginger and turmeric I believe are spices, and they're roots (rather, rhizomes).
General rule of thumb is that leaves are herbs and seeds are spices, and that while you don't necessarily have to grind herbs to release their essential oils, you generally need to grind spices. There are exceptions, of course.

Spices...I don't remember well enough to venture.
Do spices come from seeds?

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Hivemind question:
It looks like that messages I send using gmail aren't looking the way I expect them to on the other end--that the blank lines between paragraphs are disappearing, making my longer messages difficult to read. Is there any fix for this besides entering an extra carriage return, which I assume would make my messages look over-spaced to anyone receiving them through gmail? I'm trying to make it my primary account, but I'm sure not going to use it for job searching or contact with editors and agents if I'm not sure it's looking polished and professional in the recipient's inbox.
