After cooking for 30 years I found out something from my mother-in-law I did not know. While down there my sister-in-law had made breakfast for dinner and she had cooked some rice. Now all us mountain folk love to put butter or marg, sugar, a little milk in our drained rice for breakfast. Reheat heat it on low so it want burn when you put all of this in.
My mother-in-law ask her had she put some salt in the rice. So being me, I ask why put salt in the rice if you are going to sweeten it. She said it was a old time thing everone used to do. It will bring out the sweetnest in the sugar and make everything that you add sugar to taste better. Now I don't mean to put a big teaspoonful in. Just a little like maybe a pinch. So from now on I am going to try this.
I know if you want something good. While eating your regular food get a little dessert and put it on the side and eat it along with your regular food. Just try it and see if you want like it. One of my friend's taught me that a few years back.
So no matter if you have just started cooking or been cooking for a while you are never to old to learn something new. I guess I will try putting some salt in my good ole chocolate cake mix when I make it from now on. You know I just love that good ole chocolate flavor.
