(Plus, it says on the back of the package "Himalayan sea salt is essential to life" so I'm pretty sure if I don't salt my food with it, I'll die.)

Seriously, I would go to a salt tasting in a minute. I've switched over to just Kosher salt, but I would love to try pinks and greys and fleur de sels....
Need. More. Coffee.

I have a lovely house in Athens, Georgia that I may be looking to sell. It is very near a very good public school!
The commute may be a bit longer than from Westchester, though. Also, your kid might start answering you with "Yes, ma'am," which freaks me right the hell out. Not My Culture!

Balsamic vinegar, if they use real balsamic vinegar, is slightly sweeter than regular vinegar. I'm not sure that is a flavor I'd actually like on chips.
I've tried some of the Archer Farms brand, and they're quite tasty (though it is an unusual flavor). Not really sweet, it's mostly the tang that makes it into the chip, but they're not bitter like regular vinegar ones.

I DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS PINK SALT!! I NEED THIS POST-HASTE! I wonder if Central Market carries it? Or maybe even Market Street?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
If you (the general "you") stop using regular table salt and switch to one of the "fancy" salts, check the iodine content. It may not have enough. Also, if you consume soda with brominated oil in it (damn you, Mountain Dew), you may need more iodine, because bromide shoves iodine aside and takes its place, the bully. I learned this the hard way. My thyroid problems, for which I was told I'd have to take replacement hormones for the rest of my life, went away when I went back to using table salt and started taking seaweed supplements.
As for "fancy" salt, the one I like best is called Real Salt and it's mined from a dried-up prehistoric lake in Utah. It's delicious.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
There is pink salt! Just do be careful asking for it: "pink salt" is also a common name for meat-curing salts, which may produce yummy bacon-y flavor but you definitely don't want them sprinkled directly on your dinner!

Most "fortified" foods (bread, breakfast cereals, etc) also have iodine in them these days - it's not so necessary to get it directly from iodized salt anymore.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
There's an article on salt tasting in the Times today by Harold McGee. On iPhone so no link.
