girl at large

i return from France and all you want is the SALT?!?

remember when i asked everyone if there was anything they wanted me to bring back for them? as in a PAINTING? well, no takers for any of my work stateside this trip. but DOZENS of requests for the SALT! ha! Aunts and Uncles, friends, friends of friends...out for drinks last night, Grant: "You don't by chance have any of that salt?" jeez, what did i start?! of course, i did have a container in my purse, specially for him. i had a feeling eight containers would hardly be enough. i didn't pack like three (very cute) outfits to make room for that stuff folks! next thing you know, a complete stranger is gonna stop me in the street.."You the girl with the salt?" oh wait, we're in Savannah--"Yoo da ladie wid da salts?"

the salt, for those not in the know, is Fleur de Sel, sea salt harvested naturally in France. it's a table salt, a finishing salt..large humid pink-gray grains and honest god tastes better than any other you've ever used. who knew salt could taste other than, well, salt? but it does.
