Mother's Day: Skewers & Spice

By JULIETTE ROSSANT Want to give a strong hint to Mom about what you want to eat on Mother's Day (May 11, 2008)? Send her Fire & Flavor's Skewers & Spice. Gena Knox's handsomely packaged wood skewers and spice rubs come with everything but the meat – so pick that up on the way over to Mom's house. Super Chef tried three flavors: Asian Rub, Everyday Rub and Mustard & Herb on shrimp, beef and chicken. The pack comes with eight single-use skewers and a spice pack that you sprinkle over protein along with some olive oil. The flavors are fresh tasting and come through the grilling process well. (It would be nifty if the skewers themselves added flavor – rather like mint-flavored toothpicks.) They are easy to use and toss away after the meal. Skip the flowers and bring the stems!
