A NEW TASTE SENSATION

Culinary magic. Trying new recipes. Experimenting with favorite cuisines. Inventing recipes for prize money at the annual Pillsbury bake-off. Yesterday I discovered a new taste treat purely by accident. Every morning for breakfast I ingest a large bowl of oatmeal and load it down with cinnamon not only for flavor but to stabilize the blood sugar due to possible carb overload. While pouring out the cinnamon, I noticed a strange color and realized that the paprika was in my hand (they are in identical containers). It was too difficult to remove the paprika and didn’t want to start over, so just added the cinnamon and would try to choke it down (waste not, want not they say).

What a surprise! There was a slight difference in taste but not too overpowering; actually it was much better than usual. So this morning, out of curiosity, I added a little paprika to my cholesterol-reducing concoction. Yes, it definitely does taste better. You might want to try it sometime.

I think I'll pass on this one! To each his / her own, huh?
