Well, if you *knew* me, you'd know that it probably was something fun
to look at. So, either you're relatively new, or you've forgotten
me. :-(

But assuming that Mimi, Kay, Anne Bourget, and the others are still
around, they will definitely appreciate it.

Good to see you again, Anne. It looked like a Penzey's, is it? And
does the local zoning board know that you are allowing a business to operate
out of your "own back yard"????? hehehe

Oh mah lordy lord. I'm almost glad Penzeys aren't out here because
between them, Lush and my local yarn store I'd be permanently stony

Looks like a Penzeys to me.

Oh, dear. . . . They've been gone for years, Anne. Years and years. .

why. :-*( Rec.food.cooking is not what it used to be. Christine

Actually, one can just buy the little containers as needed, so one
spends less at a time than when doing mail orders. (Unless one is
stocking up right after the local Penzey's opens.)

A retail outlet of Penzeys: http://www.penzeys.com/
Well worth spending a fortune, if one is near you.

Hi Anne!

I can't blame you for being excited. I was thrilled when the first Norcal
Penzey's opened up ... one block away from our hairdressers. Not
exactly in my back yard but a lot closer than Torrance (which was
annoying because I got charged sales tax on mail orders) and close enough
for an expedition, even if I can't work it into my hair schedule.

I buy in the bag and fill my own/refill jars as possible. Saves some on
the $$.

I think I saw a few posts from Mimi when I was first here. I've used
her a web page a few times, and it's still available from the rfc home
page.

I met Kay at the one and only cookin I went to. She and Jack were
interesting people.

I saw a few posts from Anne, also. I still remember the instructions
for pressing a chicken:

1. Put chicken on driveway
2. Start your Volvo

Anne, you don't _want_ cybertwit to know you. It's simply not worth the
indigestion.

It's been a dog's age! Hopefully you'll find more time to post again.
ba.food's still hopping, too.

I have a few little plastic containers of Penzeys' spices a certain evil
person sent me all the way from America.

So, are you still interested in "raw food"?

Happy-happy, joy-joy. :-P The first time I went there, I had to
sniff all the spices, including the ones I was not interested in.


Nice to see you back.

Wow wow...hi everybody!!!

Let's see...lots of questions - lots of answers!

First though - we host many mailing lists over at isipp.com - I would
be *delighted* to create an rfc mailing list, which will pretty much
ensure *no* spam. What say you guys?

Heck..I'm just going to do it. ;-)

Ok..there...there is now a hosted mailing list set up for
rec.food.cooking folks who want safe alternate (not replacement!)
place to post, with no trolls, no spam, just us rec.food.cooking
stuff. :-)

Go he

Christine - yes, we *did* meet at Meg's, and I did shortly thereafter
have our son! (Er, my husband's and mine, not yours and mine!)

Charlotte - how very cool about the Penzey's in MP, and do say hi to
our mutual hairdresser for me!

Dan - heh, my daughter is now driving that volvo, and I've been
vegetarian for going on 12 years. ;-) And yes, I still am into raw
food:

You and notbob can have a BA reunion.

I'd recognize that place anywhere. We've got one very close too.
Just restocked peppercorns and got some cumin yesterday. Anybody who
thinks that Penzey's is this elite place where foodies pay high prices
is so wrong. I save money buying from them.

Ohmygosh yes! Best.. spice.. prices .. ever!!!

The little jars are rarely over $2.00 (some are, but most aren't), but
the biggest secret is that the 4 ounce bags are often *less* even than
the little jars. When I first started hanging around and soaking up
the wisdom in RFC, I couldn't imagine that an online spice place could
have better, fresher spices and herbs than our local upscale stores -
let alone be less expensive.

Penzeys: Nordstrom spices at Walmar prices.
