Great links, Dan. This year for Lent I'm taking on a spiritual practice. It'll be a different experience, that's for sure. I had a terrible spice mix moment the other day, when I looked closely and realized that Garlic Salt is just... garlic powder plus salt. I've been trying to cook with a lot less salt lately but found myself going for the garlic salt more frequently than I used to...now I know why, I guess. BUT other than that, I haven't bought a spice mix in a loooong time.
Bashtree, thanks for your comment and for the feedback. And yep, that was Mike's point: usually when you buy a spice mix, the first ingredient is salt. This of course means that you are ridiculously overpaying for what's in the jar. As in a markup of, oh, 69 times the price.
