I love to make up my own spice mixes. I started out doing this to avoid things like cornstarch and excessive amounts of salt. So, I was thrilled to see this little book available for my Kindle. It starts out really good, giving lots of recipes for sauces and mixes with few substitutions like how to make cream of chicken soup. A sampling of some of the recipes in the book areE's Bam Seasoning (I think its safe to assume this is a substitution for Emeril's Bam Seasoning)Dry Onion Soup MixEnchilada SauceGravy ~ several varities including sausage and gravySausage seasoningsThen it gets a little weird. For example, a Pimento Cheese recipe that calls forEvaporated MilkMayonnaisePimentos andSaltJalapenos (optional)I'm a southern girl and that doesn't sound like it would taste like any Pimento Cheese I've ever had. To be fair, I haven't tried it, but I think I'll pass.Then the book gets into a section called "Economic Preppers Notes, Tips and Know How" - this is where it gets a little strange. There are several links that look like ads selling products like bug killer, a link to a free download of this "LDS PREPAREDNESS MANUAL Free book download" BY CHRISTOPHER M. PARRETT, and a link to a gadget called a 'breathing mobile washer'. The strangest thing about the book from this point on is that all of the sudden it reads like it was written by someone who's first language is not English. The use of the word "cloths" in several places for example, instead of "clothes."I'll keep the book for the first half.
