I had a couple days of cheese, now a couple days of Southern-inspired treats...
When my friend's birthday rolled around this past March, she was pregnant. I'd been down to visit in February and she did lament how she missed wine and her beloved bourbon. Flipping through a magazine, I discovered Bourbon Barrel Foods. They do smoked salt and sugars using old bourbon barrels. I thought "What a neat way to get great flavor." I was able to give my friend something she missed, you know, without that pesky fetal alcohol syndrome issue.
In fairness, I have yet to sample these goodies myself, but my friend raved. She also sent me a blog post (I want to say it was a cookie recipe) by Ruth Reichl herself that mentioned "If you are lucky enough to have a friend that sends you bourbon sugar, you are lucky indeed." I'm that friend!! Since the stuff has received glowing reviews from two women whose opinions I value, I felt it safe to pass along to you all.
