I took a trip to Indy today and I made sure the first store we hit was Penzeys. So many of you have given me recipes from their store and shared with me that you love their spices. Well the last time I really replenished my spices was when I bought my first house in Richmond 13 yrs ago. Well I am going to throw all my spices away and enjoy my new ones. Im just saving the spice rack ...New house, new kitchen and now new spices. Now if I could just get a new stove.

Heres what I got:

  6. Cathy...Sheryle couldnt get it to post earlier too. She had to send it on facebook.

    It was the first time I had ever been to one. I actually only heard of it about 2 weeks ago..but I really enjoyed myself there and will be back. I noticed today that I didnt get any dried mustard. I dont remember seeing it. Im sure I'll think of a few more things I like to use before I go up there again. Its about an hr drive for me so I wont be going anytime real soon.

  9. I'm going to be in Columbus this weekend and will probably need to go. If you want something, and it isn't going to cost $80, let me know and I'll pick it up for you.
