Well, I called the source again, Steve at Venison America in Hudson Wisconsin. Its their year-end clearance. This is Sonoma brand sea salt made from holding ponds. Apparently its the only certified sea salt processor/manufacturer in...

I have a chance to pickup on a 50lb bag of coarse sea salt. All I know is it says "50 lbs, Coarse - Sonoma CA" $29. Anybody know if this is mediocre, good, great, or fantastic sea salt? Price seems reasonable compared to...

My wife gets a free turkey from her employer every year. For years, I didn't look forward to it taking up so much space in the refridgerator, and the long time it took to defrost. The stuffing never really tasted as good as when I was...

As a rule, I never use ground spices or herbs. I would think especially in the case of rosemary, grinding would release all the aromatic oils and there'd be little taste left. But I don't know, since I never would use ground...
