The 666th Layer

Afternoon All,

Or rather, “Welcome to the 666^th layer of the Abyss.  Dehydration and desiccation available at no extra charge.  Dante, our concierge will be most pleased to show you to your private spot in the inferno.”  I know.  It’s not that bad.  The rest of the country has been suffering longer than us.  But you know what?  They don’t live in Maine.  I recall as a kid that you might see 90 in August.  Maybe.  Nowadays it’s pretty much guaranteed in the summer. Global warming, El Nino, La Nina, Mayans.  Take your pick.  Weather Channel says it is 99, backyard thermometer says 101. Dog won’t come out of the cellar.  But, without that blasted orb in the sky we wouldn’t have the following new offerings for you.

Matcha Green Tea Salt - Premium green tea leaves are ground to a powder and then blended with fine sea salt.  The delicate flavor of Matcha pairs wonderfully with eggs, noodles, tofu, seafood, tempura, and even chocolate.  This is a really smooth salt with a subtle finish.

Merlot Salt - Both visually stunning and delicious, the rich wine flavor will add a bold dimension and a striking contrast when used as a finishing salt.  Outstanding when paired with beef or lamb; try on pasta, in sauces, gravies, and even with chocolate and custards.  Lots of potential with this one.  I think it would even pair well with a rich vanilla ice cream.

Maine Sea Salt (Fine & Coarse) - Pure sea salt created by solar evaporation from Maine ocean waters.  A clean tasting salt that pairs well with grilled meats, fresh vegetables, and seafood.  Great choice for rimming your Margarita or Daiquiri glass.

That’s it.  Short and to the point. Take care and put on your SPF3000.
