I know a few of us here enjoy cooking, whether it`s in the house, or on the grill. Our good friend (and the guy we enjoy teasing), protourist, had his wife send a sample package of several spices, which she puts together. I cooked pork chops on the grill this afternoon, and used some of the Mountain Mix spice for steaks or chops. The flavor was incredible! If you enjoy cooking, and are looking for something to liven your food up, I recomment contacting Drift Creek Gourmet at http://driftcreekgourmet.com/index.html
 
Thanks John. I'm glad you liked them.
Karen will be really happy to hear it.
 
We also had some hamburger left over from the Sloppy Joes Connie took over to Hanna and Haley. I mixed some of the spices into the meat before forming the patties, yum!
 
Me too!
I have it saved in my top sites & will be ordering soon.
Thanks for spreading the word John & shame on you Mack for not.
 
Yep, made me hungry as well. I've been looking for a tasty replacement for the "Dillo Dust" Larue Tactical sends with packages.
 
Here is another endorsement for the spices, works great in hamburger!

Go Hanna!

I got out my sample pack from Drift Creek Gourmet, tonight to try on some Filet Mignon.

I used the Mountain Mix to rub the steaks down before grilling. I used the whole packet on the two large filets - coating each side twice, then patting it in.

Obligatory JK Knife shot - my JK Modified Wharncliffe, extra long and anorexic (to steal the Jerry Busse term for a thinner blade).

Each packet of Drift Creek Gourmet spice comes with thorough yet simple directions for use.

After letting the steaks rest for 15-20 minutes, onto the grill they went! I could smell the smoky goodness of the Mountain Mix -

Perfectly grilled!

The Mountain Mix added a unique, but NOT spicy hot, flavor to the steaks. I believe there was caraway seeds in the mix, which I could taste, along with other spices that worked together in a nice subtle harmony.

I think this mix would better compliment chicken or pork chops, with it's more "country style" flavor. Very good flavor, and Maggie and I both enjoyed the unique flavor of the mix on the steaks.

Being in the great cornfield in July, we of course had the requisite sweet corn (on the cob). I used the Drift Creek Gourmet Pacific Crest Pepper and the Cape Foulweather Sea Salt to season my corn (along with copious amounts of sweet cream butter....)

Oh my! So wonderfully full of flavor! I have never had a smoked salt or pepper before - and I know I will be ordering these two ingredients from Drift Creek Gourmet - these are really something to try!! The packages have a wonderful smoked aroma, which adds that to your typical lively sea salt and cracked black pepper - I wonder if Drift Creek will eventually offer the peppercorns smoked so the diner can put the smoked peppercorns into a grinder which might make the pepper even more robust on the palate.

I have a few other packets yet to try, and I will add to my pictures and review as I get to try more of the sample packets from Drift Creek Gourmet.

Preacher's Peppers - three!

and finally Pacific Crest Paparika, smoked of course!

Drift Creek Gourmet offers sample packs for only $8 at the moment - Thanks John for reminding me of that!

Thanks to Mack and SWMBO for the wonderful sample pack, and look for my order in the next week for more of that salt and pepper!

very best regards -

I received your order!! Thank you!! Please email me at: chef@driftcreekgourmet.com and let me know which 6 seasonings you want. I will ship them as soon as I get word of your choices.

Thank you John and Andy for all your great feedback and pictures!!! I will look into smoking whole peppercorns; sounds interesting! Those seeds are not caraway, they are fennel seeds (so good). Glad you are enjoying Drift Creek Gourmet seasonings.
