BTW...what's mace? I'm having a cooking Dunce moment.

It's from the membrane that surrounds a nutmeg..the flavor is similar but not as potent as nutmeg is, and it's a lighter color so you can use it in bechamel dishes without it looking like little dark specks. I use it specifically in beef stew and welsh cookies.
