"Salt is born of the purest of parents the sun and the sea" Pythagoras By Gina Gillipsie!!

With our dear loved one filming on location in Santa Fe

he's always bringing us back the most wonderful treasures~

this time from

The Spice Shop

I can't bear to put them away because they are so lovely

and fragrant

and interesting

and colorful

Hatch powder from Hatch Chiles in Hatch New Mexico

we call this 

Hatch Heroin

mixed with mayo?...you'll know why it's like heroin

I've never had heroin or know anyone who did... but I get it!

we put the crumbled pistachios as a crust on fish

add in some tarragon from the back yard?

Pistachio Heroin Heaven!

like Christopher Columbus' gold

all laid out artistically to see and smell

fresh ground anything is spectacular!

hey...how did this get in there?

local farmer's market blend

and while I do love the spices

my very favorite of all to cook with?

SALT!

Salt is born of the purest of parents

 the sun and the sea
