I LOVE trying new recipes. Tonight's dinner was a smashing rendition of Fried Green Tomato BLT's... delectable.
As I prepared the vamped up mayo dressing to slather on the sandwich, I reached for my staple savory spice: cayenne pepper.
All of the sudden I had this crazy flashback to the first summer Kevin and I were married, when a recipe called for the very same. I remember quizzically searching the baking aisle, finding the shaker, and remarking to myself that it looked an awful lot like paprika. I couldn't tell you the first recipe I put it in, nor when the relationship became serious. But what I can tell you that at least half the dinners I make each week are jazzed up by cayenne pepper, and I can't imagine what life was like without it.
However ever did my taste buds manage?

Haha, that's me and garlic powder! Sara converted me.
