I don't buy it because it has hydrogenated fats in it, and because it's
way too salty.

What. The. ????? Your daughter made dinner for her father on his
birthday, and he said it was inedible? I don't care what's in the spice
mix...when your kid cooks for you, you smile and eat it.

There are no fats in this. Just salt, pepper and herbs.

Yes! You don't want to be in this house right now. Truly you don't. He
also found fault with what she chose from the salad bar for him. And she
tried really hard to get something he would like.

I have since looked this up and it says to use 1 Tablespoon per pound of
meat. It doesn't look like she used too much. I also see other sites where
it says to heavily coat the meat. And it says it can be used on potatoes.

Tell your husband I said Happy Birthday, and tell Angela that she did a good
job!

Okay, I will. Angela just made a cake too. Not sure how well that will
come out because we had to use egg replacer for 3 eggs. We normally buy her
cakes but Betty Crocker now has gluten free mixes and they make small final
products. So we'll see...

I know. She was very upset, thinking she did something wrong. But I showed
her where it said 1 Tablespoon for a pound of meat. If anything she used a
bit too little.

That's the problem with a lot of the stuff I get at the health food store.
No directions! They buy stuff in bulk and repackage it. I need to get
after Jeff and have him put directions on his labels!

Ahhh. That's really sad. I don't know anything about this seasoning, but I
do know that my father would have eaten *anything* I made for him and would
have found something good to say about it. He was always happy when we did
things for him, and he let us know it. Both of my parents were very caring,
giving parents (I'm *not* saying the situation is different for Angela), and
I think that attitude was part of the love we always felt. Can you suggest
to him to "lighten up" and let Angela know he appreciates her attempt?

I should have put a winky after the birthday greeting for him, but I was
serious in saying Angela did a good job!

Yes, it's hard to picture that from a parent. I had the same situation as
you with parents...thankfully.

For future reference. If you think you have put too much rub or salt on
raw meat, just rinse it off. If it is a new spice combo or seasoning,
take a taaste on the tip of your finger sto se if it is a high % of slt or
other flavorings you don't like.

I can't suggest anything to him. He just doesn't "get" it. The more I say,
the worse it gets, so I'm trying not to mention it. I just keep telling her
she did nothing wrong.

I have since looked up the seasoning and she didn't use too much. He is
claiming he only likes his steak with no seasonings whatever on it. Which
we know is not true. I always season the steaks when I make them and I know
restaurants do too.
