Last night, on the weekly cooking thread, part of the discussion revolved around kitchen gadgets. I wrote that I was really looking to replace my “Bass-O-Matic”. I started to think I must be getting old...

I went into two stores at Christmastime looking for molassess. In the first major chain grocery, the young man who stocked that aisle had never heard of it. In the boutique grocery, the young man directed me to the maple syrup. Can't find gingerbread mix any more, either.

I just removed from a dark corner of my pantry a sealed bottle of “Grandma’s Molasses - Robust Flavor” (a product of Mott’s, USA, Div of Cadbury Beverages, Inc, Stamford, CT.) The label has no expiration date but it does have a bar code: 0 14800 71116 5. There are also several recipes and a phone# for a “satisfaction guarantee”: 800-426-4891.

No telling how long it’s been lurking back there in the bowels of my pantry.

Go to the “organic” section of the store. Brer Rabbit Blackstrap Molasses... Still great mixed with milk!
