O.M.G.

I bought a bag on my home from work today, based upon a comment I read elsewhere on reddit.

I'm about to go back to the grocery store for another bag.

So good!

Reimagine the Maryland state anthem as an ode to Old Bay

ChatGPT:

In the land of pleasant living, beneath the Chesapeake's wide sway,
There lies a treasure, oh so giving, a spice blend known as Old Bay.
From crabs to corn, it graces all, a Mid-Atlantic ballet,
With every sprinkle, taste buds ring, "Long live Old Bay!"

Chorus:
Oh, Old Bay, our seasoning supreme!
On seafood, fries, and even ice cream.
Maryland's pride, in every way,
We hail thee, glorious Old Bay!

In every kitchen, every table, its presence boldly does command,
From Ocean City to Cumberland, across our diverse land.
In times of feast and fellowship, it's never led astray,
A pinch, a dash, the magic's cast, thanks to Old Bay.

Chorus:
Oh, Old Bay, our seasoning supreme!
On poultry, eggs, and in every dream.
Maryland's heart, in every fray,
We sing thy praises, dearest Old Bay!

From summer's boil to winter's roast, it weaves its unique spell,
Its flavors deep, a promise kept, of stories yet to tell.
A heritage in every granule, a legacy to portray,
Through ages pass, it shall outlast, our beloved Old Bay.

Chorus:
Oh, Old Bay, our seasoning supreme!
Through changing times, you reign supreme.
Maryland's soul, without dismay,
Forever cherish, our dear Old Bay!

So let us raise our glasses high, to the spice that never fades,
Its zest and zeal, forever real, in our hearts, it always stays.
For in this anthem, pride and joy, in unison we say,
"Here's to you, our seasoning true, forever Old Bay!"

Chorus:
Oh, Old Bay, our seasoning supreme!
In every dish, you are the dream.
Maryland's treasure, let us convey,
Our endless love for you, Old Bay!

Moved to Argentina with literally a fancy culinary knife set and a backpack full of spices I know I’d miss and have a hard time finding here. Old Bay was one of those rare decisions in life where you didn’t have to consider or think about, it was an immediate YES

All you have the super low cost Ellio's frozen pizza?

No worries, no judgement -- we all have what we have. You can kick any frozen pizza up a notch or three by a nice light coating Old Bay.

Enjoy!

This is very important. I’m testing the theory with the pork ramen, and original OldBay seasoning.

I was sitting around the dinner table yesterday and it struck me that Old Bay is actually Pig Latin for its real name:

I’ve always seen Americans rave about it online, and found some at an international grocery store! Anyone got any recommendations on what I try it on? (note: I don’t eat seafood… Sorry! I know that’s half of the point of the seasoning by design but I’m allergic :P)
