OK, I make a kick butt chicken and cheese enchilada. I really am a wimp with spices, though, I cut the cumin and cayenne in half, and my tongue is still going a little numb. And I used mild sauce.

Even a little bit of cayenne has kick, Connie.

Connie, maybe try a mild paprika instead of the cayenne next time? It will give you some of the pepper flavor without the burn. I never really thought of cumin as being a hot spice.

When I sniffed the cumin to get an idea of what it was, it tickled my nose like hot stuff does. I honestly think I react to things differently than most people.
And if Housemate doesn't get his butt up to get his share, he may not have much left. I'm after my seconds.

It does if you buy the good stuff. Until I was an adult and started buying spices in bulk from a local market, I only ever thought of it as the garnish for potato salad, for color.

This is a good brand I've used before.

Trader Joe's brand of smoked paprika on roasted cauliflower is THE BEST.

I think I'm going to have to throw out nearly all the spices in the kitchen. I know they have a shelf life, and I don't remember when they were bought.
edit: plus I can't reach the shelf most of them are on, stupid foot-taller-than-me husband creature.
