Thanks to all the CH'ers who offered me advice regarding pronunciation
(both on the list and via private e-mail). Mostly I found out that,
although there may be a general concensus, there is plenty of room for
personal preferences and individuality.
As I write this, I am nearly out of Calvin's Kelvin and Habs Magnificent
Seven Magic Dust Powder (or whatever it has come to be known as). I have
used it sparingly on nearly everything I've eaten in the past week - a
pinch here and a sprinkle there. Man I love this stuff. And, by the way,
the color doesn't bother me in the least (as a few folks have mentioned).
Being a big fan of the X-Files, I have developed a theory regarding
Calvin's Poweder. I think it's a government conspiracy. He offers this
powder to taste test, knowing full well there is a secret ingredient that
will cause all that try it to instantly become mindless zombies (kinda
like crack addicts, I suppose). When we use up our sample, we carry the
little, powder-stained ziplocs around with us for not-quite-satisfying
regular sniffs. We are absolutely primed to snatch up and hoard every
bottle on the shelves should it become commercially available. I have
become completely obsessed with this drug, a despicable shell of my
former self. And yet I am overwhelmingly grateful to Calvin for the
experience. How has this happened to me? The truth is out there.
