Spicy Note

Just a quick note about spices.  Often, I will suggest you use a spice "to taste."  This is because people have widely different tastes in spices.  For instance, I don't like my foods "hot" so I don't use much cayenne or white pepper, or mustard seed.  I do adore salt and tend to use lots!  So, when you see "to taste," that's a spice I suggest using, but you should use as little or as much as you like!
