dear spoonfull of salt in the sugarbowl diary,
hum. in the old days during the sugar shortage- folks would put salt in their hot coffee and tea instead of sugar to make it taste sweet. it was a little cheap trick to take the bitter bite off the drink i suppose. my grandma always told me that whatever you put salt into- you put a pinch of sugar into as well- and i still do. except in mashed potatoes and like beef and chicken gravy. it is hard to explain when i do and when i don't- you just know when you're posta. there is a drastic price difference between the generic sugar and the name brand sugar at the store too- but when you open the bags- you can sure tell a difference. i buy both. somethings i can get away with using the second grade sugar- but sometimes i want the good shit. that is the way with everything i guess. people get used to what they have- but sometimes there is a better bag of sugar out there. and sometimes you can just use salt instead.
