"I arise in the morning torn between a desire to
improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan
the day." - E.B. White
Mark knows that whenever we plan to go anywhere that
inevitably it'll be spice related. Fortunately (or unfortunately for him) there aren't
many places on the planet that don't
grow or celebrate a spice, and if there isn't a spice then there's a salt. Thankfully, our
world is rich with aromatic plants and intriguing place-based salts so even if soylent shakes are the future, you can be sure they'll be well spiced. But it's also why E.B. White's statement about
torn desires is very true to my heart. I'm not
just hunting treasure when I travel but looking for ways through which spices
can teach me about improving the world.
