This is my second year participating in the 100 Day Project. Every day, for 100 days, I've committed to creating something and posting the results on Instagram.
It was pretty easy for me to come up with this year's 100 Day Project. I'm not sure why or how, but I knew I wanted to do a little styling and some photography, and I love learning the history and uses of food, and so, voila! 100 Days of Spice (which includes herbs and teas) was born. The project incorporates a styled photo of an herb, tea or spice, with some tidbits of history and culinary or medicinal uses. The following are some of my favorites.
Find more at @100daysofspice on Instagram, and last year's project @100daysofstitchedart. For other projects, search the hashtag #the100dayproject.
“Hey y’all, guess what? Paprika doesn’t originate from Hungary! It’s from Mexico! Yeah, I didn’t know that either. It’s called pimentón in Spanish. The Spaniards actually took it from Mexico to Spain in the 1500s, from where it made its way to Africa, Asia, and then Eastern Europe.”
