Well, my Penzey's order arrived by UPS today. It contained the following:

Reg. Chili Powder Old World French Tarragon Cracked Rosemary Northwoods Parisien Herbes Sunny
Paris Fines Herbs Ground Cumin Spanish Thyme Chinese Five Spice Powder Bicentennial Rub Crushed
California Red Pepper Celery Salt Fajita Seasoning Majoram Garlic Salt

I smelled all of them as I was putting them into the pantry--I had to do a bit of rearranging to
get them all to fit--and they of course all smelled wonderful. I tasted the Sunny Paris and am
duely impressed. I've just

to figure out what to do with it! I'm also in the same boat with the Northwoods, Parisean Herbs,
and Fines Herbes. When I get some time, I'm going to google old rfc post, but in the meanwhile,
suggestions are

welcome.

Old World smelled very much like season salt, and I imagine, could become

replacement for Lawry's. I don't need to watch salt, but I suppose it wouldn't hurt to eat
less of it.

I have most of my spices on a rack on the wall in the pantry--which is actually a closet that was
converted to a pantry since the kitchen in my apartment didn't have much space to begin with, and

how

addictive the Fox Point can be, and although we haven't known each other long, I imagine that
Sunny Paris is the same way...

Oh gawd, why not keep your precious herbs and spices in your rectum? The stench emanating from that

Since all the mentions here about this place I requested a catalog and got it yesterday. I think
this place is ridiculously expensive. Granted they have a big selection of different types of
cinnamon but I can go down to the mexican market here in North hollywood and get the same stuff for

steaks...good meat but you can get the same thing at a local Butcher for ALOT less. BG
