The solution: Fill your ice cube tray with good bottled water. The cost is negligible compared to the cost of the rest of the contents of the glass. ISI North America makes nifty color-coded ice cube trays with a built-in lid that stack easily, so you can tell tell your “designer ice” from the everyday ice you’d drop into your cola.

Next time you reach for some ketchup to go with your fries, try a gourmet tomato chutney instead. |
|
It’s a no-brainer to substitute high-quality specialty ketchups for the corn-syrup-laden ones from the supermarket. But an even better idea is to top your burger or sandwich with tomato chutney. A savory, not sweet, chutney has deep tomato intensity along with spiciness to add real zing to that burger. Coriander chutney is another super condiment for burgers. In fact, divide your burger and enjoy half and half! To read more about gourmet condiments head over to THE NIBBLE—including our review of more than 42 gourmet ketchups. |

| Today is Herbs & Spices Day, so be sure to season liberally! Become a spice mixologist and create your own custom blends. Rosemary and thyme work well together, as do dill and tarragon; but these are just two of countless starting points. Experimenting is key—you may have to adjust proportions and combinations numerous times before you strike gold. Another tip: Make sure your spices are fresh. They aren’t meant to last forever.

Always make sure to use fresh spices and adjust seasoning blends to your personal taste. |
