Kauai Guava Smoked Salt Photoshoot
Okay, the headline is an exaggeration. There were no Brazilian supermodels, wind licking at their silky locks, licking their freshly salted lips. Just me and a small pile of Kauai Guavawood Smoked salt. Probably, the pile of smoked salt was too small… My idea was to try to create the effect of a majestic, volcanic mountain, clouds brooding on its cascading shoulders.
Taken yesterday, under cloudy, neutral light while I was brushing my teeth (I forgot to do it earlier).
A boulder field. This also displays of some of the qualities of a hand-ground salt. Note the micro-grains of salt next to the hefty boulders…. (the hefty boulders are about 1 to 2 mm in diameter).
Taken in the early morning today…. Maybe progress?
Taken just now, with strong (and rare) Portland Oregon sunlight streaming through the window.
Well…. at least I’ve already brushed my teeth this morning.

i love this coarse salt. its something about the shape of the crystals. i’ve made some caramels dipped in dark chocolate with himalayan pink salt on the top. the taste is exquisite. i want to try more sweet and salty recipes.
