One of the staples in our house is a product which we keep finding new uses for and frankly cannot use enough. Parmesan Bread Dipping Seasonings by DEAN JACOB'S. Frankly, anything with parmesan in it is always at the top of my list; love that flavor! The parmesan seasonings come in an easy to use tin (attractive in its own right) and as I said the possibilities are endless. We dip scallops, chicken, fish and shrimp before sauteing in olive oil & butter. But that is just the beginning. A customer alerted us to a great idea. When making shrimp or chicken scampi use the parmesan seasoning in place of the recipe's ingredients to flavor the dish. You can also mix it with sour cream or softened cream cheese to make a delicious dip or spread. One of the things we do when serving soup is to butter a piece of really good grain or French bread and then sprinkle on the flavoring and heat at 350 degrees for 5-8 minutes in the oven. Now that is a great addition to a homemade soup and also to a warm summer salad meal. As you can see we are always thinking in terms of how we can add scrumptious flavor with a flick of the spoon distributing these exceptional morsels on just about anything. And best of all... this is a product that is in our line and sells like crazy so it is always easy to find.
GETTING ON THE BANDWAGON
Yes, I too will weigh in on the new president's first 100 days. Even though the media has made this another theatrical production it is a good yardstick by which to measure Mr. Obama's intended effectiveness. There are things he has done or wants to do that I agree with and others that I don't feel are going in the right direction. But over all I have to say he has done a good job working on the continuity of his campaign pledges. Like anyone who is starting at the beginning he has made some errors as he feels his way along but I do commend him for being up front and trying his best to work with Congress while not compromising his own agenda. Overall I feel he has done as well as anyone could despite the drama the press makes of him. But isn't that America these days: everything is a big drama!
Take care,
Pam
