Nutmeg!!!
Everytime I see your username I think of Christmas.
Only my Mam (God rest her soul) ever used the spice was at Christmas...and then she'd use LOTS and LOTS of nutmeg! :-)
Warms me heart just thinking about it.

I took the name nutmeg because I'm a Connecticut resident, and one of CT's nicknames is "The Nutmeg State". (Other nicknames: The Constitution State and The Land of Steady Habits [I kid you not!])
The Nutmeg State name came about because peddlars used to go around the state in "the old days" selling wooden nutmegs.(???) Um... I know... don't ask me! Connecticut can be a pretty strange place at times... LOL
I like your memories of "nutmeg" much better! :-)
