The T
The golden seasoning I'd already made seasonal labels and gift bags for Bacon Chipotle pretzels and toasted them
with olive oil. A little more olive oil is always good, so I added more golden
liquid from a little dish I’d set out. After they cooled, I decided to taste
them. That’s something I rarely do because I could end up eating it all. Well,
that pretzel was not good at all. Tasted like soap. The second one was still
not good. Worse. I deduced that the golden liquid was lemon dish soap I’d set
out. The olive oil was still in the bottle.
The
silver lining here is that when I start concentrating on dietary resolutions, I
can just imagine that dish soap taste and steer clear of the snacks.
Watermelon
Radish:
At a December birthday party, my friend served a dish of watermelon radish.
Ever heard of that? No one had. We all loved the bright pink center with green
edges and the crisp, earthy taste. What crunch, and healthy, too. That's until
I started spreading baked brie on every bite. These radishes are the size of
billiard balls.
Another season(ing)
Here’s how the golden seasoning incident happened. *See above.
A
recent Free Friday Download from Kroger connected me to a bottle of McCormick
Grill Mates in Bacon Chipotle flavor. So now I’m set for a sea salt-based blend
of smoky-sweet to spice up baked sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes and eggs. A
baked butternut squash was the first item to receive the treatment. It became
the main part of the meal accompanied by baked jalapeno and onion with the same
sprinkle. It was so good I ate more than I should have.
