    With carne seca make some scramble eggs!!
    The Glorias eat them as dessert with a coffee and the rubs are good.

    Use oil with some garlic and onion then add the machaca and finally the eggs.

    You can do some cubed potatoes with tomatoes, onions fresh cheese and carne seca.

    You can also eat carne seca as is.

    The salt is smoked sea salt with a heavy apple flavor and Habanero/Chipotle/Piquin.

    OK - you say so - it's just that my new Mexican friend also has an XL like you and his initials are DAS. Just coincidences I suppose! ;)

    Today I received a big package of food items from Mexico from an appreciative customer there. While I recognize the mug,  honey and candies there are items that I didn't have a clue how to use. I GOOGLED them so now I at least have an idea what to ask. =) The first is this big package of carne sea de res which I discovered is a form of dried beef. Looks like it is to be re-hydrated and added to scrambled eggs. Does anybody have other ideas? Also the jars of sal de mar con chile habanero appear to be coarse salt and something black. 

    I'd appreciate help as these items are really foreign foods to me!

    For the record, and fair warning, I can foresee myself hijacking this thread later tonight.

    Ron, I finally put the blower together and gave it a trial run. Way more power than my hand held blower. It really surprised me. Should of bought a backpack years ago. Oh well, live and learn as they say.

    I have a heavily wooded lot and have used a Stihl BR 400 back pack for years now. Considering what the hired teams charge I easily paid for it in savings the first year! I was looking at a Stihl 600 or 700 when my 400 dies, which may not happen in my lifetime! Last month I bought and installed a new carburetor.

    I started to buy a Stihl myself. The only reason that I didn’t was I found a clearance sale on the Husqvarna 580. Just couldn’t pass on the price and a couple of free extras that they threw into the deal.  
    Both are top tier products. Can’t really go wrong either way.

    Actually I thought the salt/pepper jars were all the same, but I was wrong! 
    1 original 
    1 con chile chipotle 
    1 con chile piquin 
    1 con chile habanero 

    BTW my benefactor has since told me he just sprinkles these on his meat and smokes his steaks on his BGE. 

    Those posting here with some knowledge of these products - I would really appreciate other uses which work for you!

    The salts are just smoked sea salt with dried peppers
    Use them as normal sea salt, it gives food a smoked flavor and a tangy feeling because of the peppers

    The carne seca can be used to make MACHACADO, ATROPELLADO or eaten as is, it is delicious

    The candies, well, sweeten your tooth.

    BTW, the SMP brand (Sociedad Mexicana de Parrilleros) is a company of some guy in Monterrey Mexico. He is a grill dealer of Primo, BGE and other brands.
    He has since manufactured a wide variety of rubs, salsas and salts and has lots of cooking classes in all of Mexico.

    I'm from Monterrey, so any doubts PM me.
