Hint #2 Soy Sauce is Good!

I am not a soy sauce conosueirre. I never even had Asian food until I was in college. But I do find that a couple of tablespoons of soy sauce when cooking a beef roast or pork roast in the slow cooker make it wonderful. I like it better than worchestershire sauce, which isn't bad. I do not use it with paprika. No special reason. Never tried it. I can't really imagine the two flavors together. If any of you out their have tried it, let me know. I also like soy sauce in rice and mixed into vegetables. Soy sauce is good.

Hint #1 Paprika is Good

A friend mentioned to me that she thought paprika had no taste. That is because she is buying the wrong paprika. Sweet paprika should taste slightly sweet. It is made from dried red pepper flakes. Lots of people use it to mainly add color to their food, but it also adds flavor. I use Hungarian Paprika that was actually packaged in Hungary. I do not recommend the brands we are familiar with (rhymes with tawrys and tuhcormick). I get no residuals from the sale of actual Hungarian paprika. My dad used to say that a good Hungarian puts paprika in his coffee. He then added that he was not a good Hungarian. Still,you can put it in lots of things. Go ahead. Get creative (but not with the French Toast, Katdish)
