Once again, this time by E-mail from Kaiser Permanente, I have been warned not to do something I do every day. That is, to sprinkle a bit of salt on certain prepared dishes at my table.
"Shake the salt habit," says Kaiser.
Too late, says I. Way too late.
You see, nobody ever told me until I was already pretty old about all the bad things that too much salt can do to me. As I wrote once before, when I was younger, at our house the salt shaker was always a necessary presence -- and a pleasure. I'll keep mine.
I referred just the other day to the wonderful taste of a home-grown tomato. Well, for me that requires a pinch of salt.
A taste that has been developing for going on 90 years doesn't have the time or patience to start doing without now.
Cheers!
