Why salty you may ask?
1) We didn't make it home to Viroqua for the Holidays, so there were some tears shed in frustration, disappointment, yadda yadda yadda. It sucked. Luckily, I stopped at Costco on Christmas Eve after we learned of this news, and I impulse purchased this poinsettia/mum basket because 'dammit, we need some holiday flowers.' It was not pretty.
2) Nate and I opened our gifts this morning and we BOTH bought each other salt boxes. Could that BE any more random? Have we been dating/married for 12+ years. Yes.
So here they are...the ever classic Alton Brown singular sea salt glass container, and the down-home wooden 4-compartment holder great for multiple salts, herbs etc. There was very little debate. The wood holder stays.
It came complete with pink salt, sea salt flakes, black salt and red salt. Hell yeah. We are going to be getting our salt on in 2010.
I am still flabbergasted that we both bought a salt box, AND neither of us has even explicitly said that was something we wanted. Weird.
Anyway, that was our Christmas in a nutshell. That would of course be a salted nutshell.
We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!

Salt boxes huh? I didn't even know what they were! :) You are MADE for each other. What is pink salt?
What kind of pink salt? Hawaiian, Bolivian, Austrailian, Peruvian, Pakistani or from Utah?

That would be Australian Todd. Are you familiar? Any tips!?!
I think some of the pink salts are for curing meat, but not positive. There has to be the great sea salt book of cooking out there somewhere eh?
