Bad, bad, bad I'm mad at somebody on the Dope!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Yep. I have Granny’s large set of china dishes. Ugliest English Rose pattern, you ever saw… in my china cabinet.
The nice very light green in the background on the dishes is the color of all my interior walls. (The Lil 'Wrekker calls it prison green).

@kayaker I think you have matching closet doors.

There are only 4 of the tiny salt cellars left. If there were matching spoons I don’t have them.
Never had much use for any of the dishes in the whole set. Occasionally me and grandkids have a tea party.

I see, now why the cellars are so small. You can’t use much, at a time of this salt. It’s too reactive to the humidity in the room.

OMFG! Did I once tell you I had once purchased some Fleur de Sel French salt? It was the first premium salt I ever heard about. This was back in the 1980s. It is made by letting sea water thicken in small tidal pools. It was very flaky and came in a velvet bag and cost a fortune. My heart is dropping, I might have hurt our lil’ Beck!

23

Awww.
I forgave you of that long ago🤭
It wasn’t you or that kinda salt.
I will be looking for velvet bags to put my salt in now. Christmas gifts? You betcha. I ain’t above it.

24

Use your empty Crown Royal bags.

25

Hey…good idea.

That’s some double re-upping, reducing, and reusing.

My karma gonna be good!

26

Be careful with the gasket in the lid. I put Kosher Salt in a jar with a gasket in the lid and the salt apparently sucked all the moisture out of the gasket which then shrunk and fell out of the lid into the salt.

27

Eeek.

28

Was it sriracha salt?

29

Nope just salt. No additives or additional ingredients.

It worked better on my tomato at dinner.
I sliced. Sprinkled just a few flakes in the middle of each slice. Kinda tedious. But I meant to test this.
The salt kinda melted into the slice. And I suppose spread out. No one used the salt shaker at the table. Even my lettuce underneath was slightly flavored.
Nice.

I got it now.
Thx, you bad bad bad Doper, you’re forgiven.

A few years back my gf went to a salt tasting. She purchased a tiny container of truffle salt. That was the end of her exploration of high-end salt.

32

Omg! They have those?

I swear I learn a new thing, Everytime I read this board.

33

I am curious about this, and now want to try salt flakes.

Also, keep in mind that you should take any recommendations from internet strangers with…a grain of salt. :salt:

34

I have to ask. In the case of truffles, does “earthy taste” mean it tastes like dirt?

35

There is a statue in honor of the Boll Weevil:

36

I like the mild truffle flavor found in that salt. I’d never buy any, as it was ridiculously expensive and it was . . . salt.

37

Thanks.

38

Salt of the Earth. :smirk:

39

Salty!
