Scripture of the Day: "And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him, to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven."

Tony Chachere's: I used Tony Chachere's More Spice Seasoning for the first time last evening. I used it to season a rice dish and as a dry rub for some salmon fillets. When sprinkled onto my hand and tasted, the seasoning seemed very salty and very hot. When it is used as a seasoning, however, the heat and saltiness dissipate, and I found that it was easy to use without fear of over-seasoning.

I made a rice dish with 1 1/2 cups of brown rice, six large white mushrooms (quartered), two celery stalks (sliced), green beans (whole), a head of garlic (peeled, cloves left whole), two chicken bouillon cubes, four cups of water, and a liberal seasoning with Tony Chachere's More Spice Seasoning. I dry rubbed two lovely salmon fillets with Tony Chachere's More Spice Seasoning and grilled atop aluminum foil on the indoor grill—spraying the aluminum foil with cooking spray prior to placing the salmon, skin-side down, on the foil. I covered the grill with a tent made from aluminum foil and grilled, without turning, until the fillets were done. I toasted some garlic bread in the conventional oven. At the table, Laura used teriyaki sauce as a condiment for her salmon, and I used wasabi paste. It was a delightful meal.
