Rosemary with ginger hair is standing in the coriander (corridor) between the wall and the counter. She is leaving for a trip so next to her is caraway seeds because she needs to carry with her licorice to eat and mace and cloves (clubs) to keep her safe. Further along the counter, I have a fruit basket and it has lemon peel and orange zest in it. Next to that is my spice rack so it is allspice. Above the spice rack is a cupboard upon which I have placed a set of three decorations. These became chervil, cilantro, and parsley because these spices are most commonly used for garnishes. Going along the wall, I have a bay leaves (bay) window over the sink, in which I imagine a fish ready to be garnished with shallots. In the drying rack next to the sink is a fennel seed (funnel). In the corner of the kitchen I still have some Christmas decorations left out, and when I think of Christmas I think of cinnamon, nutmeg, and mint. Beyond the corner is the stove where I cook rice with saffron and turmeric, and I also have a skillet out to make mushroom omelets with tarragon. The burners on the stove are hot so they became and red pepper and cayenne. Over the stove is a microwave that shows the thyme (time) with arrowroot (arrow) buttons. Next to those is the rotisserie oven in which I cook savory chicken with paprika (the first spice I ever used on chicken). In my pantry I have wasabi which is marjoram (majorly) spicy and dill pickles. Beyond the pantry is the refrigerator which has vanilla ice cream in the freezer and mustard in the cooler. Then I moved on to the floor. I thought about the spilled cream of tartar in front of the fridge. Beyond that was Basil the mouse (from "The Great Mouse Detective") ready to lick up the cream. I looked at the tiles on the floor and thought of a garden that I might plant with anise seed and celery seed with hedgerows of juniper berries and sage. At this point I ran out of places in the kitchen, so I moved it on out to the dinning room, following Seseme (seed) Street. On the table, of course, is salt and pepper. Then the square placemat reminded me of oregano (Oregon). I had a hard time with horseradish until I placed a horse in my dinning room as well. Then I realized that spices are no good without a cook, so I added some things to my own person. On my head I had a shock of chives sprouting from my crown. I was crying from cutting up dried onion. I was cold so I was wearing a cardamom (cardigan). And in my and I held a funnel with a Greek letter on it (fennugreek). Then somebody called my name so I hollared, "Cumin (Coming)!"
