This spice is a "shoo in."


I know that you envy me my high-heeled spice rack.  You wouldn't be the first.  It was a find from the bottom of a pile at an antique store, and there isn't another one like it around.  I'm sure it was once used in some kind of retail display, but now it works perfectly for my kitchen spices.

Recently, I made myself toss the old spices.  I had some that I would swear I bought when Jimmy Carter was President.  However, there is one spice on my rack that I use almost daily.  I can't keep it in stock around here.   It's called "Coast To Coast All-In-1" and is by Urban Accents.  I get mine at the local World Market.

Sprinkled on vegetables, a salad, or used to season chicken or pork, it is delicious.  I use it especially on fish, because I do not like to eat fish!  I have to gag it down!  However, I've found that if I coat tilapia with this spice I don't even know it is fish!

[Note:  Usually I drench it in marinara sauce and wash it down with a Negro Modelo, so you might not want to trust my judgment.]

Unfortunately, the shoe doesn't "fit."


Oh, I wish I could recommend Toms Shoes.  The concept behind them is so amazing:  Buy a pair, give a pair -- to a child in need.  Since May of 2006, this caring organization has given more than 60,000 pairs of shoes to children in Argentina and South Africa.  What a worthy cause!

I looked at the shoes on-line and was tempted to order, even though they are a bit pricey.  But, I discovered that there was a local store that sold them, so I went to have a look.

I was terribly disappointed.

This picture is taken through the store window, but I think you can see what I mean.  First, they are not attractive to me (I'm being polite...I think they are "butt ugly."), second they look "homemade."  They might be comfortable, but I would not wear those out of the house!

Such a pity.  However, I think my money would be better spent by just donating to the cause.  Unfortunately, I didn't see immediately on the site how to do that.
