""Two questions.
""
""How does one get the cardamom out of the pods? (I always buy mine
""already free and clear of the little pod)

Use a fingernail to split the pod and gently invert.  The seeds are
loose inside.  I always buy pods if I can get then as they keep the
seeds fresher.

""and
""
""WHAT is a cinnamon quill? I have heard of cinnamon "sticks", even
cassia
""sticks, but never quills.

Quill, stick.  It's the same thing...
