  1. Barb (Melba's Jammin'😉 and I met for breakfast and Penzey's today. I hadn't
    seen Barb in years and it was so cool to see her again and catch up.

    This is what my Penzey's run got me
    Dried parsley
    French Thyme
    Sanaam peppers
    Greek Seasoning
    Italian herb mix
    Pasta Sprinkle
    Chili con Carne
    Sweet curry powder
    Ground cumin
    Vindaloo
    Orange peel
    Lemon peel
    Crystallized ginger
    Kosher salt

    I was able to stick to the list pretty well, only replacing the things I was
    out or low on. I got to see Barb working with the sales ladies, talking up
    her jam and brownies.

    I was also the proud recipient of a jar of her own cherry jam and some cottage
    cheese pirohy (so that I might stop buying the frozen ones).

    She schooled me on jam making, assuring me that I would not kill everyone
    within a 12 mile radius with botulism by just thinking of canning. We
    discussed making non-preserved jams and the like and I told her some of my
    ideas, too.

    The real treat was when she introduced me to Brianno's Italian Deli and sent
    me packing with some of the delicious basil vinaigrette and some bread.

    I'm off to go fill my spices.

    ~Greek Seasoning
    ~Italian herb mix
    ~Pasta Sprinkle
    ~Chili con Carne
    ~Sweet curry powder
    ~Ground cumin

    I've almost used up the seeds I got in (according to the label on the
    bottle, 93). They are still great after being toasted in the pan and
    then ground.

    ~Vindaloo

    (Don't say that too loud. My husband will want me to get some!)

    ~Orange peel
    ~Lemon peel

    I've tried the dried lemon and orange peels, and much prefer scraping
    my own off the fruit. Do you find it as flavorful as fresh?

    ~Crystallized ginger
    ~Kosher salt

    They don't seel the 3-lb boxes of Mortons or Diamond Crystal in your
    area?

    ~I was able to stick to the list pretty well, only replacing the

    I like their vanilla beans. Fairly reasonable price (~$2 each), and
    they'll last almost forever in my sugar cannister, perfuming the
    sugar.

    I do keep another bag of sugar around for things that don't want
    vanilla in them, but that only happens once or twice a century<G>

    oh oh my my god god
    I set up the bread machine to have a loaf of white bread ready for me when I
    got up (it would have been wheat but my wheat recipe required an egg and I
    discovered I was out). For breakfast I had fresh, hot bread with butter and
    Barb's wonderful cherry jam.

    Oh man, that stuff is so good. It's one of the best cherry jams I've had
    because it's not super sweet.

    What a wonderful way to start a sunday morning.

    Later I'm making either veggie curry or veggie chili for dinner.
