Worcestershire Sauce-Have you ever wondered what's in it?  Me neither, until I was in the middle of making chicken salad.  As I was starting to put the bottle away I thought....what is Worcestershire Sauce.  I mean something that is soooo hard to say and even harder to spell has to really only be made out of a few ingredients right?  Um, NO!  I'm trying to eat healthier and be more aware but honestly this was one product I've never really looked close at.  Ready for it?  Here they are:


Vinegar
Molasses
High Fructose corn syrup (ok at this point I'm ready to look up on the internet how to make my own but I continued to read on)
Anchovies!   Hold the presses and pull up facebook!  I've got to share my new found knowledge!  Yes, ADD mother that I am I stopped in the middle of what I was doing just to write this blog.  I am, sad to say, easily distracted!

Now that I've shared my new found knowledge I'm off to finish the salad.....and perhaps do some surfing to make my own worcestershire sauce since the rest of the ingredients were things I'd like to avoid....I mean really, what are "natural flavorings" and why can't you name them?  

Just a little more mindless muttering from Mary
