Bill Penzey does it again!!! In honour of the algae swamp, which, he

noted, is Iran-flag-green, he is reminding us that pubs ARE the swamp, so all green spices are 30% off.

He also has a beautiful comment for Juneteenth.

Something has to be really green to look green to me. For example, money looks brown to me.

The reflecting pool is green.

close to me, the other about 20 minutes away. I was thrilled when they came in, as I had been using their catalogue for years. My wallet is grateful that I must rely on mail order!

Just ordered a bunch (I like to sprinkle it on fruit) and some of their basils. I appreciate that they offer bulk sizes and sell glass storage jars for them at a reasonable price.

Might have to go back for some more green-y goodness this week.

We have a penzeys in the "big city" (KC) suburb of Overland Park. I don't get there very often because its a hard drive for me to make. My car's not so great, as attesting to running errands it in 100 degree heat with no A/C. But it's also hard on my body to drive, it seems. Still, every great once in a while, a friend of mine comes picks me up and we do a Penzeys store run. I could stay in the store for hours... smelling the herbs and imagining what I could cook using them. I have a weird imagination at times! (LOL)

Think was maybe you when saw Penzeys before at DU and made a purchase.

Did bookmark the site where maybe can find in the future.

I'll take a peek at the email though.

Thank you.

My wife is partial to Fox Point.

I'm a chili snob - I spent enough time in grad school in Austin to become one - and I like some of their chili blends.

offers a gift card deal for ❤️ day.

She loves to cook, so it's perfect.

They seem to offer something special all the time though. And, of course, they offer free shipping over $49.

Sign up for their email list! They only send a few per year.

This month they were offering Pride to those hosting events. I've already deleted the email, but I recall seeing that they invited event organizers to contact them about the Pride offerings.

Enjoy!

16 miles one way to be able to shop at the Penzy's store. Worth it to help keep them in business here.

Several stores near me. Their main facility and headquarters are in Waukesha a Republican district outside of Milwaukee. I lived there for a short period in the early 70s. They just elected a Democrat for Mayor this year and Penzey's was a big help in accomplishing that goal.

when they had the Revolution trial bag collection on sale for one of the No Kings protests, I purchased a box to pass around there.
