Subject: Savory Salt
Hi Phaedrus,
On November 19, 2007 I see in your mail a man requesting information on Savory Salt, I went
to the website you suggested and it was not there. My mother swears that it was made by Lowry's,
I remember it having a blue lid. I have goggled it and attempted several different searches to
no avail. I would be thrilled to make it or purchase it. Sorry if this seems redundant.
Thank you,
Mary
Hello Mary,
I think you mean the e-mail from November 19, 2002 about savory salt, at:
https://www.hungrybrowser.com/phaedrus/m122702.htm#4
Yes, at some point in the last five years, the "Marimann" website went off the Internet. If
you'll read that e-mail closely, though, you'll note that I was directing Derek to a site for
the type of "savory salt" used for making venison jerky, not the kind that Lawry's made. There
are two kinds of "savory salt", as I explained to Derek. The kind that Lawry's sold was a mixture
of herbs to be used as a salt substitute. Yes, they stopped making it several years ago. There
is a recipe for a "savory salt substitute" below, and this company advertises one for sale:

I love stuffed grape leaves. I have grape vines in my yard with beautiful leaves. Can I use
these leaves and is there anything I need to do before to prepare them?
Sue
Hi Sue,
You want to be absolutely sure that no pesticides or other chemicals have been sprayed on them.
You want to use medium-sized leaves - the big ones are too tough and the small ones are too thin.
You want to blanch them before using or freezing them. See here for detailed instructions:

Hello Debbie,
There is no recipe by that name on the Internet. See below for what I did
find.

Sour Cream Blueberry Pie
1 (8 oz.) carton sour cream
2 tbsp. flour
3/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
1 dry pt. fresh blueberries
3 tbsp. flour
1 graham cracker crust
Rinse and pull off stems of blueberries. Let blueberries drain in a
colander. Mix first 5 ingredients on medium speed of an electric mixer for
exactly 5 minutes.
Gently stir in the blueberries into the custard mixture. Pour into the pie
crust. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes.
Refrigerate. Serve cold.
"This pretty much replicates the Blessed Dupar's Blueberry Sour Cream Pie of
Ages Past."

Hello, Friend:
I can never remember if you read the Memphis Commercial Appeal or not, so here's a recipe from
today's issue of "Recipe Finder." Thought you might like to share it.
Hope yall aren't getting soaked with rain like we are here in Northeast Arkansas; I believe my
feet will begin to web at any time!
Take care,

Horseshoe Casino Bread Pudding
2 1/4 cups sugar
2 qts. whole milk
13 large eggs
1 qt. plus 3/4 cup half-and-half
1 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
Cinnamon, to taste
12 to 16 cups bread cubes
Mix all ingredients except bread together until incorporated. Pour over cubed bread of choice and
let soak for at least half an hour. Then bake at 300 degrees in a water bath until firm. (The length
of time will depend on the type of pan or cup you are using.) Let cool for at least a few hours in
the refrigerator. This will let the custard set. You can reheat afterward if you'd like.
Makes enough to fill two 9-by 13-inch pans. Use whatever combination of pans you can to accommodate
the water bath; just be sure to fill your pan just a little over the rim with the bread.
Note: Cooking in a water bath means to place the container of food in a larger, shallow container
of warm water. This keeps delicate dishes like custards from breaking or curdling.
