FOOD Still Tasty

“ I don't think this has the same daily utility as the Cook's Thesaurus, but Still Tasty is worth knowing about.  Now we do, thanks to Cowboy Don.  One of the things I learned is spices have a shelf life, Imagine that.  Turmeric's is 2-3 years.  Mine, then, is 39 years past do.  But wait ... “ .To test whether a spice or herb is still potent enough to be effective: Rub or crush a small amount in your hand, then taste and smell it- if the aroma is week and the flavor not obvious, the herb or choice should  be replaced. ” Okay, I tested the turmeric.  It has an unpleasant taste and it smells like something.  Good to go!  And what the hell, I can't even pass that test anymore.  Your experience may vary.  Also, to any anal retentive readers who are bothered that my spices are not alphabetized;  bugger off.  I'm a speed reader. ”
