Go smoky, tangy
McCormick
Flavor Forecast has announced that smoky, spicy and tangy flavors are trends of
the 2016 grilling season. Are you on board? Some new products include Smoky Montreal Steak seasoning,
Hot Pepper Blackened Seasoning, Smoky Applewood Mrinade and Brazilian
Steakhouse Marinade. Look for these under their Grill Mates line.

oven—baked ribs doused in the single-use liquid marinade packet of Brown Sugar
Bourbon to great reviews. I loved the sweet aroma if basil released with the
new Herb Grinder. The little bottles contain larger herb pieces that are gently
dried to protect color and essential volatile oils from a patented ergonomic.
This will be my first occasion for keeping parsley on hand. Italian Blend and
Oregano grinders are also available. New packets of chicken sauces include Herb
Roasted Chicken, Italian Parmesan Chicken and Bourbon Chicken. Get grilling. Go

Zatarain’s now offers single-serve portions ready in just under 4 minutes. Keep
flavors such as Jambalaya Rice Mix and Red Beans and Rice in your desk drawer
for a quick lunch or add leftover sausage or chicken at home to extend this
convenience into a more sturdy meal. Love the Zatarain’s brand.

makers as they offer charismatic gentlemen a thin wallet with a titanium card
that is all-at-once a bottle opener, hair and beard comb, milimetre ruler, thee
screwdrivers and two hex wrenches with a 2-grade file on the back. This is a
manly-man product that you will have to put on the tray at security if you fly
to try to meet the makers in Australia. I say, women might like these
minimalist wallets to hold coupons and cash when they are out being
charismatic. Bonus Bro-ness is recipes at www.thatbroco.com.
Yes, I said recipes. I like
these Bros.

Forever Flawless Skin Care & Cosmetics uses diamond dust for anti-aging
products and other skin, eye, and nail care for men and women. But I think of
it as creamy diamonds. Infusions of dust go into creams, facial exfoliators,
and microdermabrasion products for deep cleansing. They throw in natural
goodies like avocado oil and vitamins A and E. It’s spa-quality product
designed for home use. There’s a fragrance, so you can even “smell” diamonds.
What a kick. Start with an infused cooling and hydrating mask, mess around with
HYDRA-AM Moisture Complex in jars that look downright artistic/futuristic and
then there’s purifying toner and cleansing complex for when you need to
“sparkle” again. Remember what diamonds look like in the rough. It’s more of a
sexy science experiment that a jaunt to the jewelry store. And it feels very,
very nice as they cleanse the skin.

Frebreeze is one of those products that has become a verb, as in “Frebreeze
it.” These fresh makers sent a sample of new Frebreeze Laundry Odor Eliminator,
pitching to a food columnist that you wouldn’t want to head to brunch in smelly
gym gear. We Southeast Texas get hot enough heading from our air-conditioned
buildings to our cars, so my experience with this sample, which you add to your
detergent, was very nice. My husband complains of the scent of some products,
but this one just smelled super clean to me and went unnoticed by his “are you
wearing perfume?” sort of inquisition. darraghcastillo@icloud.com
