Friday is here!  Whooo Hoooo!  Thanks so much for your support on yesterdays fun and interactive post on sweet vs salty.

Yesterday afternoon, I received a phone call from my wife asking if I ordered something from Epicure Selections.  I said ” ummm no – I believe I am getting a care package from those folks with some products”.  She said “well you got a super big gift “.  I love getting presents!

I waited until my wife came home so we could open the package together and once we did – I was so excited.  I never expected such a spread like I did.

Check it out:

Some of the products included:

• Greek Spice
• White Balsamic Vinegar
• Fruit Dip Mix
• Lemon and Dill Mix
• Sweet and Spicy Mustard
• And Many others

My goal is too start trying some of these products out in the very near future and tell you what I think of them.  The kind folks at Epicure Selections are going to collaborate with me and set up a really fun giveaway.  Stay tuned for that.

Thanks again Epicure Selections.

Have a great Friday and a great weekend.

Take care

How about the heat!  We hit 32 degrees Celsius or 90 degrees Fahrenheit yesterday in sunny PEI.  Finally some sun as the weather has been sub par thus far this summer – it is nice to get a couple of days in a row without the wet stuff.  It is also beneficial for the house construction.

So I have been dying to ask this question ….

Sweet or Salty?

We all have certain foods that we gravitate towards when we are feeling down. Whether these foods include mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, candy or chocolate cake.  We call them “comfort foods” because their consumption evokes a comfortable and pleasurable state of mind. But why do certain foods comfort one person and not another?

Stereotypically, women crave sweets and men crave salty foods.

Are you a Salty Dog?

When it comes to snacks

• You’re more likely to grab a bag of chips over a bag of cookies.
• Your taste tends to be complex, sophisticated, and mature.
• You tend to crave your favorite restaurant meal… or mom’s cooking.

Do you have a Sweet Tooth?

When it comes to snacks

• You’re more likely to grab some candy than heat up a pizza.
• Your tastes are simple and predictable. You are young at heart.
• You tend to crave food you can just grab and eat.

So I need to know the answer!! I am attempting to set a zestycook.com record for the most comments ever, so if you are reading this – leave a comment about whether you are sweet or salty.

It is super easy so lets see if we can break 300 comments.

I hope you have a great Thursday and I will see you tomorrow for a nice sandwich idea for a potluck.  Can’t wait!

Take care
