It was really a wake-up-call to cook at mom's. How in the world can she get by with no kosher salt? Or pepper mill? And what in the world is up with the Christmas music? Yeek.

Fortunately, I, like my mentor Alton, carry my own. I also happened to take silicone spatulas, a stick blender, multiple spices and herbs, kitchen tongs, latex gloves and the only things I forgot, and really missed, were my oven mitts.

I guess even us foodies have to rough it sometimes. Hey, I've cooked a roast with a stick over a fire (I think that was after the Yuba hurricane / propane grill disaster). I guess I know what mom's going to get for Christmas. That's right, a smoked turkey :o)

So you were the Masked Stranger in the kitchen putting lumps in the mashed potatoes...

I adore pepper mills. I do miss the pepper medley combination I used to get at Trader Joe's. Actually I miss Trader Joe's a lot. I can't figure out why they aren't in Texas.

I cannot just pass by the spice section in the market and don't get me started on the Penzey's site.

I just bought Mediterranean sea salt and put it in a grinder, fabulous!! And whoever invented the silicone spatula and the stick blender deserves an award!!

I like Alton most of the time, right now I'm trying to think of something I'm having trouble cooking so Tyler Florence can come to the house to help me out!! :)
