Probably vinegar [something artsy and artisanal, no doubt] or lime or lemon.

:)

What kind of salt? There are many different varieties of salt that it could blow your blood pressure just like a pressure cooker! Did that make sense? Getting late!

O-M-G....just read some of the comments and curry powder was NOT introduced into American at the same time as ice cream!

Ice cream was one of Dolly Madison's favorite deserts to sever at dinners at the White House; for crying out loud!

Soy Sauce has been used for over 200 years here? I don't believe that is true at all!

I’ve been eating middle eastern food forever since it is Israeli food. Then we met a lot of Armenians and dang if they didn’t eat the same foods! And none of us are Muslim. But I’ve traveled to many Muslim countries and eaten delicious stuff there, too.

You sound like me. I don’t think I go a day without basil in at least one meal or snack. I actually grow a lot, use it fresh, dehydrated and freeze some but still buy it dried in bulk for when I run low. I am going to remember “green toothpaste” for the grandkids. The 2 plants they’ve all learned to recognize as toddlers are mints and basil. Have 21 grandkids and almost all will pick basil or mint leaves to eat as they play outside.

Not surprisingly, I like that Celtic Sea Salt stuff they’re pimping, lately and also, the pink Himalayan salt.

They’ve both got a crisp, fresh, complex flavor, unlike just...”salt”.

If you watched ‘How It’s Made’ when they do a soy or Worcestershire sauce episode, you would *never* use either, again.

*hint: there’s an awful lot of “carefully controlled decay” involved

:D

I use white vinegar as a cleaner. Love apple cider vinegar for cooking. Then there is basalmic vinegar, and all the rest with flavorings.

Why thank you, old friend! :-)

Sadly, there's no other way to get the nutmeg into/onto something, except to shred your knuckles too. I wish there was, but IF there is, I don't know of it.

As if they’d eat that crap.

Hell, even Camo, my Chameleon eats specially “loaded” crickets and superworms.

Although, they do sell Crickets In A Can for other reptiles.

*ew*

I don't see why not.

I'm not sure how to do it, but we all should write just what we think of her crappy, specious, stupid book.
