Hi everyone, I was quiet for a day or so because I was the auctioneer at a charity auction and school benefit last night… I also donated an “Ultimate Crabby Dinner for 10″ that was sold for PHP20,000! Thank you so much to the bidder who I know comes onto the marketmanila site once in a while… The evening was really rather fun and a substantial amount was raised for the school… Hence, the lack of post today as I am simply exhausted!!! stefoodie, there are lots of comments, but from about a core of 100 regular readers lang naman, I think. Kai, if you make it to the possible eyeball, I can spare a tablespoon of old bay… or the next time you have relatives come from the U.S., have them bring a can from the grocery store… Rina, thanks bigtime for the suggestions above and the replacement old bay seasoning mixture. I looked at the can and those are in fact the ingredients…it just has to be mixed in the right proportions, I guess. Mila, old bay is also sprinkled generously on crabs before simply steaming them… Gigi, what? on South Beach again? I have given up this year, up about 9 pounds since I started marketmanila!!! At that pace, I could top 450 pounds by the time I die…

kai - for the non-mainstream spices try these stores:

celery seeds and celery salt - cash & carry or unimart, theres a repacker called Wilpack that carries these spices, sometimes they also have ground cardamom and possibly even mustard seeds because i know they have ground mustard
whole cardamom pods and mustard seeds - look for these in the indian grocers along UN Ave Manila, near unilevers HQ or if in makati in Taj along Bagtikan st, San Antonio Village
sweet paprika - in terrys selection either at the Podium or at the end of Pasong Tamo extension (look for pimenton dulce because theres another blend, the smoked pimenton)
the other ones are a bit more mainstream except for mace which I couldnt find in manila as well, just ended up not putting it
if all else fails, sometimes santis carries a seafood boil blend that might work as an old bay sub.

What to do? Most of the Copycat Old Bay seasoning ingredients aren’t available here, too! Celery seeds? Celery salt? Must have to look at the DFA bazaar next week.
