Emeril uses a lot of "Essence". It's sort of his trade mark along with
the "BAM" each time he kicks it up a notch. But, his formula for
Essence, Southwest Seasoning and Rustic Rub are always on the Food-TV
receipe page. So those into saving the odd farthing over convenience
can make up their own.

I'd post the mixes - but, last time I posted some reciepes I set off a
howling wind of political correctness from New England. <G> 'Sides,
someone else will likely post the stuff anyway.

ENJOY!!!
