Alternative Health

Several years ago I worked in an alternative/complimentary/health clinic. In that position I taught and used several modalities. The following link will take you to  a couple of articles I wrote at that time.

It's been a long time...

To quote Led Zeppelin.

So here we go again. One handed typing, as my right hand has not recovered from an on the job fall-diagnosis "crush injury", and no more husband-related to same injury. 

Several years ago I bought a breakfast sausage seasoning mix from a well known spice shop not the one in Grimm) and was very disappointed. Horribly salty and flavorless. Today I am trying this:

Salt, 1.5 tbsp
Sage, ground, 1.5 tbsp
Thyme, ground, 1.5 tbsp
Nutmeg, ground, 1.5 tbsp
Brown Sugar, 4 tsp packed
Fennel seed, 2 tsp
Pepper, black, 1 tsp
Rosemary, dried, 1 tsp

A personal rule: if using seeds, toast them first in a dry skillet. This enhances the flavor enormously. 

Grind everything fine (an old coffee grinder from your fave thrift store will do very well).

If you are using fresh herbs use twice as much.
Warning! Fresh herbs will gum up your grinder. Mince very fine instead.

The green handled mincing shears below were a gift from my late BFF Bobby Fox. Use with caution as the multiple blades are incredibly sharp

Blend 2 tsp of herbs into a lb. of meat. Then weight, package and freeze. 

In case you might think I might be a food snob you should know I am eating cold green beans and reheated supermarket orange chicken while writing this.
