When I said I made a lot, I meant every word. I was too taken with the mixing and blending that I just ended up with huge jars of different blends for different uses. There were ones that I wouldn't even be using for tonight. So I just chucked half of that into my spatial ring. I might need them one of these days especially since we would be on the road again.
I decided to make the good 'ol five spice blend first. This blend includes star anise, cinnamon, cloves, peppers, and fennel seed. Together these spices would produce a flavor that is deep and spicy with a hint of sweetness in the dishes. I was going to stir fry the chicken that I'll be having with the beer so I would be using this blend almost immediately and maybe frequently since I was a fan of roasts and stir fries.
