Spice Racks Blog

Hi guys!
So, I was watching Julie and Julia the other day. It was a really cute movie, but they didn’t show enough of Julia Child using spices for my liking. I’d give it 3.5 stars out of 5. Afterwards, I found out that the MOVIE was based on a BOOK based on a BLOG!! Have you ever heard of anything like that happening? It sounds good to me, that’s for sure. I think this blog would make a great book or movie, so if anybody in Hollywood wants to make me a star, let me know! Ha ha.
Anyway, I’m not going to get a book deal if I don’t keep you informed of the best new spice racks and kitchen accessories on the market, now am I? 2010 has brought a lot of great things to the market. Let’s take a look at one of my favorites: The Bird Salt and Pepper Set!

Oh my gosh, aren’t these just the cutest? They’re made of glass, and there’s one for the salt and one for the pepper. I think they’re very sweet. In fact, they are very “modern”, because they are birds, and the mascot for “Twitter” is a bird! So, you could use these, and then tweet about them on Twitter to let your friends know that you’re using the most adorable salt and pepper shakers in the world!

What great things have you seen lately? Let me know!

So, we’ve been talking a lot about various spices and spice racks. But there are two seasonings that are universally loved in every kitchen - salt and pepper. 

For the longest time, I would never salt my food. I don’t really know why - maybe it’s because my mom’s cooking was so good, I never felt the need to salt it at the table. Then one day in the college cafeteria, I had a bite of my friend’s scrambled eggs - and they were really good! Amazed, I asked her “whoa! What did you do your eggs?”. She looked at me, in the that ‘are you mental?’ way, and said “Well, I put salt on them”. My life was changed.

Salt and pepper. The wonder twins of the kitchen. Since you use them everyday, it’s best to invest in a nice set of salt and pepper shakers. This here is the Pinata Salt & Pepper Set. This colorful wooden set  has adjustable zinc gears. That lets you control how fine or coarse you want your salt and pepper. Plus - they are very festive! They make me think of laying on the beach in the Riveria Nayarit.

If you’re looking for something a little more high-tech, there’s this Stainless Steel Electric Salt & Pepper Grinder.  This one has push button action - just hit the button and your pepper is freshly ground and sprinkled on your food. Also, this grinder has a light - perfect for romantic evenings with candlelight dinners! 

Have you seen any good salt and pepper sets out there? Let me know!
