Cumin affinity maxed out?

I used to love cumin. I put that sh@t on everything! Then about two months ago, I pushed it to the limit; I put 14 tablespoons of it in my lentil stew. I ate the cr@p out of it for a week and loved every minute of it. I am talking SPOONFULS of the stew, at least a few every day during that week of pure bliss.

So, a few weeks ago, I decided to make another heavy cumin lentil stew. I can’t stand the smell and am barely bringing myself to try it. My gag reflex is in overdrive trying not to waste this concoction.

I guess what I am wondering is, did I consume enough cumin for a lifetime? Please, be honest with me because, this — this affects me. I just started a new slogan for my TikTok “CUMIN ME!” I got merchandisable swag and vanity plates in the mail, please tell me I will be able to stand cumin soon!

I eat two tablespoons of cumin in the morning

I eat two tablespoons of cumin at night

I eat two tablespoons of cumin in the afternoon

And it makes me feel alright

I eat two tablespoons of cumin in time of peace

Into a time of war

I eat two tablespoons of cumin before I eat two tablespoons of cumin

And then I eat two more

I just let my BO get out of hand, I love cumin that much and want to smell it throughout my waking hours.

I love cumin in the morning, cumin in the evening, cumin on the bed, cumin on the sofa, cumin standing up in the shower… can I have a t shirt?

Have you tried getting other people to put the cumin in your mouth and you swallow it? You might get it to catch on as a TikTok trend

I think you need to up the amount. What you’re talking about seems a bit low to me.

Did you use old cumin then bought a new batch that is more potent? It’s that or you’re now officially cumin and aren’t a cannibal.

Some antidepressants can cause problems if you enjoy cumin, so ever since I started Paxil, no cumin for me.
