2. Ditto, Cream of Tartar. I'm envisioning a jar full of crap scraped off people's teeth, and-- EW. EWWWW.
3. I have in my possession both Montreal steak seasoning and Quebec steak seasoning. What, pray tell, is the difference?
4. Try saying Arrowroot 5 times fast.
5. Confession: I own Cajun seasoning made by one Mr. Emeril LaGasse. I whisper "Bam" under my breath when I use it, whilst dying a little inside.
6. If there is a more hilariously named spice blend than "Bone Suckin' Sauce Spice and Rub," I do not know what it is.
7. Wait. Dill weed. Heh heh.
8. I vacillate between saying "PAP-rika" and "Pap-RI-ka." I know I should pick a side and stick with it, but I'm evidently having some sort of strange commitment issues.
9. I know it's not a spice per se, but man, do I love Bac-Os. Tell me, do they actually taste anything like real bacon?
10. If I were to rim a glass containing a Bloody Mary with celery salt, would that be intensely weird, or SHEER GENIUS?
And because I have a problem, I'll leave you with this. Happy Friday:

OMG, Celery Salt rimmed Bloody Mary = GENIUS!!
And Cream of Tartar, I imagine it more of being raw meat instead of crap off of people's teeth. Except for now. Thanks for ruining that.
Oh, and I waffle with the paprika too. Depends on who I'm talking with and what I'm talking about.
BAM
If you like BacOs, you should try BaconSalt (yes, it's kosher. and vegetarian! ah, the wonders of modern science).
Um, I own a spice called "Slap Ya Mama." OH YEAH.
I second Cara's suggestion of trying BaconSalt. They also make Baconnaise, aka totally kosher bacon-flavored mayo. My husband's company actually manufactures it for the BaconSalt guys who were recently on Oprah. Needless to say, orders are through the roof now for that stuff.
In Canada, we have a drink, which is similar to a Bloody Mary. It's vodka, clamato juice, pepper, tabasco sauce, worcestershire sauce, celery, and rimmed with celery salt. It's very popular. It's called a Caesar.
Not only do I third the bacon salt rec, but I suggest rimming your bloody mary with it. Genius!
Also, hehehe, rimming.
BacOs are the best parts of Bacon (minus the fat) salt and smoke! Yum!
Also, you should most definitely rim a bloody mary with celery salt. The BEST!
You're the maverick...the Venn diagram maverick, that is.
(Uh. That was kind of lame.)
But anyway, I also have the Emeril seasoning. And I have no idea why. However, I also have some sort of bottled Emeril sauce, which I hate looking at because it has the word (and I use the word "word" loosely here) "gaaaahlic" on it. Which annoys me.
Am I the only one that learned 'pap RI ka' from Blues Clues? :)
Great. First Sarah posted a video about a Dog who took in and nursed kittens and I now want a new kitten. And then you post about a Bloody Mary and now I need one of those.
Think they have an animal shelter with a bar anywhere?
Nebraska, probably.
I say genius!
And I recently saw "Tennessee Toe Jam" which I think beats Bone Suckin' Sauce. (And I did not look closely enough to tell what it was cause - barf.)
However "dill weed" - hee hee.
I'm currently in awe of the number of products on the market involving the essence of bacon flavor.
And Cream of Tartar is good for one thing: snickerdoodles!
No, Bac-Os don't really taste like bacon, except insofar as they are both salty.
Cream of Tartar is actually a side product of wine-making! :-)
Your Venn Diagrams are KILLING ME. That is some funny stuff.
Sadly, bac-os do not really taste like bacon. But they are yummy. (Don't they make every bite better?)
The best place on the planet (okay, maybe not the planet, but the Continental US) to buy spices is at Penzey's, and I think they have a shop in Grand Central Station (which is, as I recall, (although I could be mis-remembering) the place where you were traumatized daily by that vomiting movie poster. Visiting a fabulous spice shop would be much better than a vomiting movie poster.) Seriously, you will never sprinkle Emeril again.
My celery salt's sole purpose in life is to rim my glasses. And, yeah, that sounds like my celery salt is doing dirty things to my glasses, but I swear it's all innocent.
I have a seasoning called Butt Rub. It's at least five years old and unused. I can't make myself throw it out.
Love the celery salt! We have been using it in Bloody Marys for a while...It's wonderful! Also, I too have the inner voice saying Bam with each tip of that Emeril spice.
Celery salt + Bloody Mary is real genius for sure!
You will immensely enjoy this site... trust me.

Best diagram so far!! (and we use Emeril's on homemade steak fries)
I too learned papRIka from Blue's Clues, but use them interchangeably.
Cream of tartar is for leavening egg white stuff (like meringue). But yea, totally the teeth grossness.
And the Venn Diagrams? I totally predicted the need for an intervention.
I'm going to start working on our projected appreciation of the charts charts. Or something chartsy.
Celery Salt rimmed Bloody Mary is Genius! And also, I will get myself to your house right around now. I usually do PapRIka, which is also (spelled normally) the name of a trippy Japanimation movie.
Happy Mother's Day!
Rimmed bloody mary is very close to a Caesar, which I found out when I was in NYC, is not an American drink! It's a mixture of clamato juice, spices, and features a celery-salt-rimmed glass, and a stalk of celery or a big pickled bean or something sticking up. AWESOME. My favourite use of celery salt. Try it out!
PAP-rika? Really? I have never heard that pronunciation. Maybe it's a Midwest vs. East Coast thing.
Do the celery salt thing! It's almost a Bloody Caesar. Then you'd almost be Canadian.
Pap RI ka. :-)
Celery Salt is the KEY to an authentic Chicago-style hot dog. That and tomatoes instead of ketchup.
Also, I had MANY of these same thoughts as I was packing my spices this weekend when I was moving. I think I uttered, at 6:30 AM mind you, "Tarragon leaves? Why the hell do I have tarragon leaves?"
Re: Bac-Os: NO. Not even close. I hadn't had them in years until last summer, when my MIL made a casserole topped with Bac-Os. They are horrible. Real bacon, however, is delicious.
I think the Maverick venn diagram is the best yet...I'm just sayin'...
No, Bac-Os taste nothing like bacon, but they are nice for adding a little crunch to your salad, aren't they?
Celery salt on the rim of a Bloody Mary glass. I think I've seen that done at fancy brunch places. I don't personally drink Bloody Marys (Maries?), though, so I can not confirm.
BWahahahahah
I put celery salt IN my Bloody Mary's.. but never rimming them. I don't like things rimming my glasses.
This made me giggle ;-)
BAM! LOL.
