I just read the label off of a jar of seasonings this weekend. There was an asterisk after the words "herbs and spices*", then the bottom of the label read: "*proprietary". This got me thinking: maybe I could make many of my ingredients proprietary, as well. However, I'm all about transparency -- that's part of the philosophy behind this blog. I want people to know exactly what they're putting into their mouths. The process of how I make the seasonings is proprietary, but I'd have to tell you what's in them.
After visiting a friend's food sampling party Friday night, and enjoying our annual family Missouri winery run this weekend, the ideas are swirling around in my head, knocking against my skull. I will have to keep them to myself right now, but I'm about ready to bust! Trust me. You will hopefully reap the benefits of these proprietary ideas soon.
Special thanks to my new acquaintance: I really enjoyed bouncing those cooking ideas off of you. It was an absolute pleasure meeting you this weekend. I feel so fortunate to have a husband who has a cousin who married a guy who has a sister who has the job that you do... hey, that sort of sounds like "The house that Jack built"!
FINAL NOTES
Central Hotel in New Haven, MO -- wonderful, historic B&B and very close to the wineries
Robller Winery -- I just loved the Vidal Blanc
Bommarito Winery -- You must try Nick's Hill, named after the owner; his daughter is a wonderful educator of wines. And thank you for the tour, Mr. Nick!
I will keep my mouth shut about another winery. I'll just give you this warning: Beware of women's restrooms with side-by-side toilets with no partition. Hey, when you're desperate, it works. But why not just a little wall??!!
