Laugh! I never had a "house" spice mix before a few months ago when
my 18 month old granddaughter carefully mixed the salt and pepper
while I was busy doing something. Now I call it GD's Special Mix and
actually made more on purpose when I ran out of what she mixed. I've
often thought that I should do a Paula Deen thing and make a "House
Mix" that includes garlic because I use all three a lot... but I'd
definitely switch the amounts for salt & pepper if I followed a recipe
from the internet.
