There is plenty of salt in the bouillon. My wife says most of the time she just uses that and the tomatoes and the rice. Nothing else. It tastes fine to me like that.

I have a hand grinder. I used to hunt a lot and made plenty of wild game burger. And the ginger and coriander I use is powdered but I chop the fennel...and chop. It has more flavor. I buy all my spices and yeast in the bulk section so I can get about what I am going to use so it doesn’t sit in the cupboard for weeks. The real key to the sausage is to let it sit in the fridge a couple of days to let the spices penetrate the meat.

And the fish we eat is trout we catch. My son went fishing after work tonite. My neighbors eat a lot of fish.

Try a bit of Catalina salad dressing on a taco. We use a taco seasoning mix in the package, usually McCormick’s. I can’t really say if it any good or not. :) The Catalina, to me, is really good, and helps with the taco meat taste if it is a bit off. My aunt makes a “taco” salad that calls for Catalina dressing. That is where I got that idea.

Re your #62, I don't know if I answered or not and get behind, then have to really hunt in my pings.

I love fish but never got lucky enough to have any given to me, just once. It's so expensive to buy though. I was hungry for some catfish. Sometimes I just bake it in some butter, easy on some spices, and squeeze lemon juice on it.

Years ago a girl at work gave me some smoked sturgeon her husband caught and smoked. Best I ever had.

I'm going to grind my fennel. I don't use enough to buy in bulk. I bought some taco seasoning in bulk and is so much I'll never use it. I was hoping it was what my fav taco place used but no, far from it. I'll probably throw the stuff out.

Catalina doesn't sound very good on a taco. I'm getting a pkg of McCormick's though even though I made a mix that would be too old now. I usually don't use a whole package.
