    You notice it more with peppers, ground verus whole that you grind yourself and the different types of corn all add something that others don't
    Bread and water can so easily become tea and toast

    Amen, I like to get the multicolored corns when I see em.
    And there is differences in saltiness for sure. I've tried the Himalayan and like it, as well as various natural salts. Even tried some with smoke essence added which looked black and added a great flavor to fish.

    Sorry John for wandering..

    There's never any wandering on my threads,,,,,,

    Someone here said "salt is salt" ,,,, I know that ain't true

    When I was 13 years, I got shot in the a$$ with rock salt for raiding the neighbor's apple orchard. This was in Ashe County, in the Appalachian Mountains. I wasn't the only one either. Burnt welts right through my jeans. My father didn't even confront the guy, he just laughed at me & said, "You should have run faster."

    Been making these cigar box guitars for a few years now. These are the first two I made and the only pics I have of any of them. Pretty fun and fast to build and really fun to play.

    I got plans to make a 2x4 steel lap guitar for myself and a cigar box ukulele for a friend of mine just need to find the time[emoji1]

    Not to OT but.....

    When I was young the local farmer took to shooting at us with split peas from an air rifle when we "wandered" into his fields.

    Now I'm older and know the law let's me do that lol.

    Those are very cool! I'm assuming they might sound a little ukulele-like?

    Thanks. They have a very "dirty" sound. If you've heard some early period blues that's what it reminds me of maybe banjo like too.

    I made a diddley bow with a piece of driftwood, a wine bottle, 2 nails, and a string. It was a fun experiment!
