The Food Editor at our magazine received the following e-mail: **I sent you some samples of the new Mrs. Dash 10-Minute Marinades and I wanted to make sure you received them. Have you by chance had time to try them? I was just curious about how you thought they tasted. Any feedback you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!** She suffered a temporary sanity snap (probably from sitting too close to me) and replied, **I must tell you that the new Mrs. Dash marinades were simply FAN-TASTIC. Me and my husband were up all last night brushing it on turkeys, sheep, small woodland animals. It was SO much fun. Our ten wonderful children devoured the goat before I could even get it into the oven. We’ll be sure to continue using Mrs. Dash in the future.** She assures me the PR woman in questions has a great sense of humor . . . ---

The thing I like best about ‘em is that they come in a bullet so that you can just shoot the turkey or sheep and voilla!, it’s marinaded by the time you drag it back to your campfire. That Mrs. Dash has it goin’ on. ---
