Do You Use Spices When Cooking?

... i cook rice virtually every night and sometimes i'll add some CURRY POWDER in ...

... CURRY has something called TURMERIC in it and i've heard on the radio that it's good for your health. someone posted a graphic raving about CAYENNE PEPPER in my facebook feed yesterday so i decided to try it last night. i found it to be a little on the hot side and somewhat subtle but it added a bit of flavor. i'll try it again tonight. i think it's BASIL that goes well with tuna ...

... how about you? are there any spices you swear by? any that have health benefits?
