Bill Penzey supports New College

[Easterncedar]

The class of 2023 at New College in Sarasota is having an alternative graduation ceremony, as the new DeSantis-appointed board of trustees/wrecking crew has invited a trumpy covid-denying whackaloon to be the speaker at the official ceremony.

Bill Penzey, one of the great heroes of our time, IMO, has posted about it in his newsletter, setting out the situation, with links to a Wonkette article, and asking for contributions to the students’ support fund.

I so appreciate Bill Penzey’s activism, as I know other folks here do. If you don’t know Penzey’s spices, you should check them out. They are wonderful. And sign up for the newsletter. It will inspire you.

I know the people at New College, students and faculty, appreciate knowing they are not fighting alone.

2. You can't go wrong with Penzey's Spices

I have loved the company for decades, before the internet existed. The spice selection has always been outstanding. I made chili tonight and used many ingredients from Penzey’s: whole ancho chili pepper, hot chili powder, adobo, coriander, hot seasoned salt, black pepper, Aleppo pepper, cloves and sumac. It’s delicious!

All this and wonderful, kindly, spirited activism.

17. You'll like this , I think. Been on several Wild Food walks and one included sumac...

We were the Jamaica Bay Nat'l Park in southern Queens (nyc) and our guide pointed out the staghorn sumac shrub.
We shipped off some berry branches.

Either we ran water over it into cups, or took home and did the same. It has a lemony taste. And very pretty looking.

20. Yes. It's also a staple in middle eastern cooking

Wonderful with olive oil for dipping bread, sprinkled on fish and swirled into hummus. Anything that needs brightening!

It was a Girl Scout thing to make lemonade by steeping the flower stalks in hot water.

21. Oh, cool re Middle Eastern cooking. Yum....

Maybe in your Girl Scout troop! 👀 😄

That's really neat, though. 👍
I've seen it in that one place way down at the other end (south) of NYC (in southern Queens). Very distinctive ~ I'd recognize it again.

3. I found out about Penzey here

A lot of my Christmas list ended up being Penzey Spice gifts certificates.
Great products and great company.

[Easterncedar]

4. Yay! I give their gift certificates, too

I love that this community can support this great ally.

5. I just read that a bit earlier tonight, as I was introducing a friend to his site.

Such a wonderful thing for him to do.

Various Christmas and birthday gifts have been Penzey's spices. Great spices, and ut feels good to support this wonderful company.

7. Used a good amount of Penzey's for dinner tonight.

Stir-fried cut up chicken thighs with a good dose of their Greek seasoning, and added a decent amount of Fox Point (to add some onion flavors). Added a cut-up cauliflower and served it over brown rice. Just finished eating when I saw this message.

Been using Penzeys for almost 30 years now; it's always excellent, and (especially nowadays!) it's good to support a company that takes decent stands on issues.

10. Mmm that sounds delicious!

8. Love their spices

Outrage is actually our favorite and I use it on almost everything.

9. Penzey's it top not stuff!

I go through lots of Air Dried Granulated Shallots, which go great on popcorn, burgers, etc.

Arizona Dreaming is really good SW mix and has no salt added.
Hand-mixed from: ancho chili pepper, black pepper, onion, garlic, paprika, spices, cumin, citric acid, Mexican oregano, cilantro, lemon peel, chipotle pepper, red pepper, jalapeño, cocoa and natural smoke flavoring.

11. Penzey Spice is the best

The owner steps up with pride and principle, a rare bird, lately.
I am a customer as well.

[Easterncedar]

12. And the New College students are being brave and fierce and creative

They inspire me, too.

13. One of the Most Inspirational Corporate Sites I Know Of

Terrrific products and a savvy politician to boot.

14. Excellent quality spices, and we drive

all the way across town (and back) just to be able to patronize the Penzey's retail store here in Tucson.

15. Love Penzey's Spices! KnR!

[MutantAndProud]

16. I discovered them when

My aunt (a looney tunes level RW’er) bought from them without realizing their good works. Really good peppers and chiles from Turkey and other places.

[electric_blue68]

18. I'll have take a look at their site again. I'm someone who'd rather go and get but..

it looks like either a Penzey's store or a store that carried a lot of their herbs & spices closed for good near Grand Central Station. Nearest are miles & miles away in CN or NJ.
Feh...

19. The catalogue online is really good

Everything is as you see it. I used to like going to the store when visiting Boston, but it’s lots of fun when the package arrives by post, too.
