salt! (an inane update)

i am sitting here munching on salt like its chips or something. and trying to get the motivation to cook dinner or go meet friends for drinks. but chances are, i am going to stay in and be a salt eating hermit.

Wow, you're eating salt straight out of the jar?

I'm avoiding all contact with rock salt at the moment. It reminds me too much of a certain substance that I'm trying to keep away from. :\

and good luck on your recovery sweet p!

Oh man, that looks like some crazy awesome salt. Ages ago I saw on a cooking show a fellow (I think that it was Jamie Oliver) made some flavoured salts for something; possibly homemade chips or something equally vanilla. One was a chili lime salt, and the other was just a bunch of orange zest pulverized with some coarse finishing salt in a mortar and pestle. Looked great.

You wouldn't use a really good salt (a la fleur de sel, pink salt, or the awesome looking stuff you're munching on a_c) for that, but it would be a cool way to jazz up some storebought kosher salt for a special occasion. Ooh, or for rimming glasses.

i want to make some vanilla salt for desserts because i love the salty/savoury combination. but i forget vanilla beans every time i am at the store :\

the next time i splurge on myself, i want the salt sampler pack of 24 different salts in a case:

i also keep these on hand for seasoning just about everything:

i should try to mess around and make my own seasoning salt one of these days...

I've not tried many 'seasoning salts', but the ones that I have tried tend to just be loaded with sugar. Fuck that noise.

Ages ago I made my own 'Bam' seasoning, a la Emeril. I'll try to dig through my recipes and see if I can recall what was in it. It was pretty great, but I almost never used it.

the ones i posted above are just sea salt and fresh herbs mixed together.

and i still like lawry's on my fries, even tho its fairly sugary.

i never realized i could talk so much about salt!
