I'm getting dangerously low on black peppercorns. I went to Sam's Club
to buy another pound of Tone's Malabar pepper, and they don't have it anymore. There's fine grind, and "restaurant grind", and fancy mixed peppercorns (white, black, green, pink.) Is there another source of the 1-pound containers of Tone's spices? I don't want ground pepper and I don't want girlie mixed peppercorns. Thanks. Bob |

Thanks. > > Bob It would appear that our local Sam's Club (Friendswood, TX) the Tone's peppercorns I currently use have been discontinued except as a special order and at that you have to purchase 6 lb. which is more than I can handle. http://www.tones.com/products/displa...?product_id=46 Currently, I am placing a Penzys order and have added these to my order per a recommendation... Peppercorns India Special Extra Bold I've been told they have very good. Chris |

We have Penzey's but it's in an area I don't frequent and there is no way I am schlepping a 2 year old who loves to sniff things into a frou-frou herb and spice store... -L. |

Surely you know about their mail order end? Aren't Tones spices those big restaurant sized bottles often found in discount places? I dunno why, I just assumed they were low quality. <shrug> |

I don't do mail order nor internet orders - actually we pay cash for almost everything (due to privacy issues). > Aren't Tones spices those big restaurant sized bottles often found in > discount places? I dunno why, I just assumed they were low quality. <shrug> They do sell in large quantities but also sell in small. They used to have a wonderful spice rack in the Cub's Foods stores in and around DesMoines, Iowa ca. 1985. When I used their products, they were a small company located in the Quad Cities in Iowa, IIRC. Now they own Durkee, and Spice Islands along with a few other brands. I am sure the products between them are now all the same; Tone's used to be different and had very good spices. I think I will roadtrip to Penzey's the next time I have some time away from DS. I really would like to see the store. -L. |

Hi Bob - If I may offer a suggestion. I have used the Tones brand in the past, but a few years ago I found a spice merchant that excels in the quality of spices that they sell. If interested, please go to: http://www.penzeys.com/cgi-bin/penzeys/shophome.html They also produce a catalog you can order from their web site. If your interested in spices, it's THE place to look at. I have no interest in the company, just a very satisfied customer. Regards, Rich >I'm getting dangerously low on black peppercorns.

Persia doesn't go nuts over catnip, unlike other cats... she gets a little silly but not much :) My dog Sampson did go nuts over a big ham bone, but he's been dead for a long time :( |

I have one of these: http://www.sweetmarias.com/prod.freshroast.shtml I roast coffee a couple times per week, but almost daily also use it for roasting pumpkin seeds that I buy at Trader Joe's. |

My cat goes bonkers at the scent of olives and Obsession perfume. He'll eat one of those perfumed strip magazine ads if I don't get it away from him fast enough. Tara |

Oooh - roasting pumpkin seeds in it...that's an excellent idea! I don't drink enough coffee to make it worth my while. I love it but the acid is too much for me. -L. |

Lack of it is common in some breeds - like Siamese. My dog Sampson did go nuts over a big ham bone, but > he's been dead for a long time :( Dogs love that smoky flavor and smell. -L. |
