My Penzey's Spices order came in.

[4lbs]

It actually arrived on Friday Nov 1, but today was the first day I was able to take pictures of the order.

I ordered 1 2.2 Oz Fine Black Pepper, and 1 Southwest Seasoning.

I got a FREE "I Will Vote 11.05.24" mini Penzeys Pepper bag and pin.

I also got a FREE "Cooks Vote" sticker.






I am getting paid again at the end of this week, and will be making another order to support them.

1. I bought $50 gift cards for Hanukkah gifts this year for friends and family

[Phoenix61]

2. Mine will be here in the next day or two.

It’s the only brand I use in my Christmas baking.

3. I was at the Penzey in Columbus yesterday morning..

stocking up on holiday spices. They have a “Loot Our Store” special going on I think till Monday. 50% off in store and 25% off online orders. They open at 10am. I got there at 10:03 and the lot was full. I had to park and walk. Made me very happy! Got all my spices at 50% off and other goodies (Penzey Pepper, Florida Pepper, and yet another Choose Love mug which will be a Christmas gift to someone because I already have three). I’ve been a Penzey customer since the mid-80s when I sent for a little black and white spice catalog from an ad in Country Living magazine.

4. Orange Bastard is a fucking piece of shit and a fucking pantload.

[bahboo]

8. succinct and accurate.....

[SoFlaBro]

14. I hate the fuck out of that fucking Orange Shitgobbler and the entire shitty MAGA cult.

18. Don't mince words. Tell us how you really feel.

5. Penzey's is the best!

I’ve been using their spices since I discovered one of their stores in Columbus sometime back in the 90’s. Amazing quality and selection plus BONUS!!! Bill Penzey and his wonderful emails and vision and support for all the ideals we hold dear. LOVE this company!!

17. Welcome to DU; looking forward to your OPs and comments as you join in the discussions

with fellow Democrats.

[Bantamfancier]

6. I love going to the store at Kenny Centre

As a bonus treat I always pop in to Belle’s Breads. So much goodness.

[Backseat Driver]

16. Welcome to DU!

I know about Penzey's; I love the shop in Columbus, OH and the qualify of Penzey products. "Love people; cook them tasty food" hangs on my fridge. However, I don't know about Belle's Breads...do tell...

[Bantamfancier]

21. Oh, it's not anything

Just a group of French method trained Japanese pastry chefs who create desserts that are to die for. They’re on the other end of the centre. Be sure to check out the gift shop on the opposite side of the sidewalk.

[Blue Full Moon]

23. I was there yesterday.

Belle Breads is so good. Love the lemon cake.

[Freddie]

7. My son and wife are good cooks

And liberals too. I sent them a nice package of Penzey’s stuff for Christmas last year and they loved it.

[c-rational]

9. My wife just placed her first order.

[Botany]

10. Penzy's Pie Spice, Sunny Paris, Northwoods, Vietnamese Cinnamon, and Vanilla are keepers

I go to the Kenny Road Store in Columbus too

[Backseat Driver]

24. I shop there too...I feel lucky the store is in my neighborhood. I really need (not want)

a bigger spice rack! Asking Santa! I especially love the "no salt" flavor blend(s), one of which is Mural of Flavor, and often give gifts of their spices.

[Botany]

25. If you see the prairie on the hill by Riverside Hospital... I did that but I no longer do the maintenance

30. Northwood on winter squash.

Tonight I roasted a delicata squash seasoned with Northwoods.

[Jit423]

11. I received mine two weeks ago.

I don't have cash to spare but I had to place an order with them. They are my kind of business. At least my family knows what the moms and grandmoms will be getting a spice gift for Christmas. My order had 12 jars so that takes care of 10 people. I am keeping two.

[bobandrileysmom]

12. Me too!

I received an order last week and should receive another Tuesday! Just in time for the election!

[Backseat Driver]

27. Welcome to DU - Both No 11 and #12

Don't be shy...keeps my sanity intact through all this "weirdness."

[Warpy]

13. Next time, get yourself a pepper grinder

and order whole black peppercorns. You won't believe the difference. Amazon has a few grinders under $7 and I think 3 of them under $6, so you don't have to break the bank on a three foot high monstrosity you'd see in a pretentious restaurant.

[4lbs]

19. I have a pepper grinder.

I'll be ordering their peppercorns at the end of the week as part of my next order.

I like "grinding my own"

Both pepper and coffee (I buy the coffee beans by the pound and grind them as I use them)

[Warpy]

28. I had a crank grinder for the ex's coffee but I left it with the ex

I've always loved the smell of greshly ground coffee but as soon as water hit it, I lost interest. Good or bad, it tastes like battery acid to me.

I have a little Cuisinart spice grinder. I use a manual job for the pepper.

I suppose the preground stuff is good for things like pfeffernusse, where a quarter cup goes into the dough (that gets tedious quickly when you grind your own), but I like fresh ground for everything else.

32. I have a Mr. Coffee electric grinder for my coffee beans (bought it WalMart for about $10 a decade ago).

It looks very much like the following:




For my peppercorns, I have a manual grinder, that was given to me as a birthday present by my previous boss about 11 years ago.

It is from the Middle East and is nice and decorative. It too has a hand crank. It looks like the following:

15. They always send little presents along with your order

Enjoy

[Evolve Dammit]

20. Awesome!!!

[Blue Full Moon]

22. I went to Penzey's store yesterday.

I love the fox point in potato dishes.

[mcar]

26. Love Penzey's

I've been getting their spices for years.

[Freethinker65]

29. Friend called me today from retail store and asked if I needed anything as everything was 1/2 off.

I had to say unfortunately I had just been to Penzey's a few weeks prior and bought pretty much everything I needed then.

She said the store was packed with customers, adjacent parking lot was insane.

31. DU meet up at the Kenny Road Penzey?

Reading through the comments, there sure are a bunch of us who shop there.

[mysuzuki2]

33. I live in Milwaukee

About a mile west of Pennzeys headquarters. My grandson works there pulling orders like yours. It may be that he packed yours. Great company. Good to its workers. Enjoy!
