I'm glad you got the humor -- "I hate meeces to pieces" was a tag line from a random cat and mouse cartoon called Pixie and Dixie and Mr. Jinx. Your English is extremely good, but given that you want to correct the spelling you should also change spieces to spices (and reciepes to recipes while you're at it). ;-) I still think "flanked spieces" would be an awesome forum nickname.
