Penzey's is always great. My spice cabinet is fully stocked, so I need to get cooking. Last night's chili was good. Penzey's adobo and chili powder and whole ancho peppers are basic necessities. I am really getting into the Fox point blend and finding lots of use for the cinnamon chunks. Turmeric powder, roasted shallots, spicy salt and ooooo saffron. I could go on and on. Mmmmm!

Thanks, niyad. What are your favorites?

the extra hot curry. Justice. Revolution. Resist. Minced garlic. toasted onion. all the shallots. Sunny Paris. Vanilla sugar (which I give to a friend for her baking). vanilla extract. And on, and on! I ordered some smoked Spanish paprika time before last, because Bill was honouring Spain's president for telling krasnov to basically stuff it! I always have something handy for a little gift.

You mentioned the Resist t-shirt. I don't know if you caught this, but when I was watching the Raging Grannies of Tuolumne and Calaveras (RGTC) singing "Please Just Resign" (to "Sweet Caroline" ), I noticed that several of the women were wearing Rresist aprons. I promptly emailed Bill to share it with him.

The gift cards are really great to have on hand for my own use - a real money saver when I get them on sale - and to give away when a sudden event arises. I have loved the company almost my whole adult life.

some months back?

I am far older than the company, but I have been a very happy customer for over 30 years!. It was so very handy when they actually had a store here. On the other hand, my wallet and spice cabinet are grateful!

The stories about where the spices came from and how they were harvested were magical.
