Smoky Citrus Seasoning
The last time I was ordering my typical barbecue rub ingredients from World Spice Merchants , I ran across a very interesting thing -- alder smoked salt . Of course, I was intrigued and just had to buy some. Here is part of the description from their site: "Pacific sea salt is cool smoked for 48 hours over red alderwood to give a hearty smoked flavor for any dish either on or off the BBQ." When they say "smoked for 48 hours", that is no joke!

Southwest Creamed Corn
Here's a south-of-the-border twist on creamed corn. It combines the sweet and rustic flavor of grill-roasted corn with tangy crema Mexicana, tomatoes, chiles, a few spices, and a final dusting of cotija cheese to create a great side dish. I served this alongside my Spicy Grilled Fish Tacos and some kicked-up refried beans. The creamed corn has a great balance of sweet and spice.
