I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, and today is June 10th.Did you know that today is National Herbs and Spices Day? And it covers more than the two spices in a famous chicken brands recipe.Today is the day to celebrate those magical ingredients that elevate our meals from ordinary to extraordinary. Whether you’re a fan of basil, thyme, or perhaps a touch of cumin, today’s the day to appreciate the flavor and flair that herbs and spices bring to our lives.Herbs and Spices make food come to life.This sequeways nicely into today's quote from the renowned celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse: "BAM"Just kidding... well not really. That is something Emeril said.... literally ALL THE TIME. But today's quote of the day is another quote from Emerial Lagasse...“Life just doesn’t taste as good without a little kick.”It’s quite fitting that on National Herbs and Spices Day, we have a quote about adding a little extra something to make life flavorful.Just as Emeril knows how to turn a simple dish into a culinary masterpiece with the right blend of herbs and spices, his words remind us that life, too, benefits from a bit of zest.Think about it: without that dash of cinnamon in your morning oatmeal or that sprinkle of oregano on your pizza, meals can be pretty bland. The same goes for life. It’s the little kicks—trying something new, taking risks, adding a bit of adventure—that make our days more exciting and memorable.So, as you cook today, maybe experiment with a new herb or spice you’ve never tried before. And as you go about your day, think about how you can add a little kick to your routine. Maybe it’s signing up for a class, planning a spontaneous outing, or simply trying a different route on your daily walk. Like Emeril says, life just doesn’t taste as good without that extra bit of excitement.And on that note, let’s wrap up today’s episode. Enjoy National Herbs and Spices Day, add a little kick to your day, and remember, it’s the zest in life that makes it truly delicious. Thanks for joining me today on The Daily Quote.
