This turned out nice. I followed Sarah's instructions exactly using black sesame seeds. A small jar of this seasoning costs $4.00 at my local grocery so it's nice to have an economical alternative! Next time I make this, I'm going to use a blender....I used my mini-food processor this time and got sesame seeds all over my kitchen. Oh, and DH and I like this on rice and it was quite tasty. Thanks Sarah!

I love to cook... always have. Thanks to my father for this culinary passion! While I am addicted to collecting cookbooks, my dad taught me to experiment in the kitchen and gave me the gift of knowing that creative cooking doesn't have to come from a book.
