Sorry to say, but this site has been so depressing for a few days. I thought I'd ask an average, everyday question....to make us all feel a little more normal today.
I made Eggplant Lasagna, and my BIL and SIL are coming for dinner. They leave for Cali tomorrow to see their beautiful grand daughter.
Sorry, sometimes we just need some REGULAR conversation.......or at least THIS caregiver does.
Elaine1962...I agree with you about the little bit of salt and sugar once in a while. Even better if you pair them in a Chocolate Salted Caramel Tart!
When I was growing up there was 1 salt in the house...the Morton's..when it rains it pours...salt. We did not have a water softener and we did not salt our driveway in the winter. Oh, maybe once I saw Rock Salt when we were at a friends house and they made Ice Cream. What a treat that was!
My ten minutes are up.
Going to have a late dinner,
and 'add no salt'.

Just for interest, Himalayan salt was a brilliant marketing exercise that started a decade ago when the Nepalese government started providing cheap iodised salt. This was to counter the significant local goitre/ thyroid problem caused by iodine deficiency. The Nepalese salt merchants were desperate, hence the very clever marketing campaign. They probably learned how to do it from the Celtic/ French mob.
The problem is the garbage salt sold as table salt that has been stripped of its nutrients that is so widely used. Good salt is vital for our overall health.
Watermelon with flavored salt is all the rage. Smoked salt, merlot salt, charcoal salt. Any othe flavors you can think of.
Personally we enjoy Celtic sea salt the most.
@ "Llamalover47" - I finally got a chance to try the watermelon with salt. Unfortunately, I didn't have my reading glasses on so I didn't see that I put too much on. There was just one spot that had a hint of salt on it and it tasted better so I think I'll have to give it another whirl when I buy some more watermelon.
