The Cinnamon Club

Those of you who follow my antics on h2g2 may already be aware of the cinnamon situation: that we bought a 250g bag of cinnamon quills for our housewarming party to make mulled wine, as it is actually cheaper to buy a catering pack than it is to buy one of those Schwartz-type jars containing approximately 3 cinnamon sticks. This means that we have a surfeit of cinnamon in the house, and we are seeking creative ways to use it in cooking. So far we have tackled the obvious option of moussaka, and last night I made cinnamon & lemon chicken, which, surprisingly (to me, at any rate) is an actual recipe. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Please send recipes to the usual address! At the moment we have no grinding facility, but when our stuff arrives from the UK, hopefully in the near future, I’ll be able to grind cinnamon quills for inclusion in baking etc.

  1. Gosh, that's quite a lot of earthquakes, then. Not just the one. Wowee. And a handy map, too. Now I know where you are !
    Sorry forgot to mention 'the earthquake' in last post - leaky brain. It was on t'news here.
    Kids are back at school (have been for a week) - phew. I'm off to see Juliet singing in Cosi fan Tutte at the Royal Opera House tomorrow soir with yer mother. Can't wait. Proper stuff !
    Love, H x
