It really loving bugs me that they keep mentioning "mouthwatering spice blends". Spice blends by their nature are not mouthwatering unless they're made of dried tannins and salt. They really need a different adjective. Also scrap the entire piece of poo poo.

I have no interest in defending this terrible, terrible product but something can be mouthwatering in that thinking of it induces salivation.

There's a .txt on my desktop from like a year ago where I drunkenly wrote down the exact idea for that spice mixer.

Sober I realized it was insanely dumb, but drat I could be scamming people out of crowdfunding dollars right now. At least mine had toasting/grinding the spices as part of the main draw.

I have 50 clams my parents brought back from Chincoteague. They were picked Saturday so I’d like to use them tomorrow. I was thinking I’d use about half doing a garlic butter linguini. Ideas for the rest?

Coconut milk, lots of turmeric, curry leaves, and a tarka. Maybe some tamarind. Serve over lemon rice.

Got my free "American Heart and Soul" box of spice mixes from Penzeys yesterday. These things are absolutely awesome and legit, and it came with an extra sample packet of their curry spice mix that I used immediately and it beats the pants off of any curry powder I've ever used before. It's no wonder they were so popular when they ran the giveaway.

At least I got the rest of my order finally. Also, they’re about to do another similar thing.

I’m lucky enough to be able to visit Penzeys in Pittsburgh and it’s beautiful there. I highly recommend their hot chocolate mix.

The only liquor dispensers in casinos are ladies in skimpy outfits that give out free drinks to gamblers. There are a few bars that have those in-table taps for people to pour their own, but they're not super popular (surprise surprise, ten tables means ten times as much line to (not) clean compared to just having a bartender).

In the strip district. There’s all kinds of great ethnic food stores; Italian, Asian and Mexican. There’s also a fish market and Penzeys and a dope kitchen store.

Oh yeah, that makes sense it'd be there. And it's what, a block from the Primantis in the Strip? Nice. What's the deal with the cured meat though? We just have spices at the one here.

I’ve never seen cured meats in Penzeys. I was last there about two months ago I’d say. Penn Mac has a shitload of amazing cured meats though.

well according to whatever blog post they did more business the night/weekend they posted that last screed & free offer than they did year-to-date, so that's maybe got something to do with it

i'm glad it's working out for them, and i wish i could come up with more i needed right now in support of their thing tonight

I have no idea what their profit margin is, but their spices are usually cheaper than grocery store McCormick's in addition to being way stronger and better

Everything I bothered to price shop them on was pretty comparable to standard (white, American) grocery store pricing, so about half of whatever that dumb Keurig-for-spices kickstarter wants to charge and maybe several times what you'd pay at any Indian/Mexican/Korean/whatever market.

Irish fry is bacon, sausage, black pudding, white pudding, egg, mushroom, soda farl and potato bread. Maybe he had two?

Anyone have good thoughts for onion/garlic replacements? Turns out my partner has a big sensitivity to everything in that family, but gently caress me so many things have onions, garlic, or both as pretty key components and I'm hoping some other people have tips on this front.

Dates, nuts, honey, sprouted grains, and dried fruit in the food processor, then press into a sheet pan and cut into bars or cubes. Add some cocoa powder to make them a little less moist.

Yeah, hing is a thing for that reason. Also I've heard chives and scallion/green onion green parts are OK for people with allergies or fodmaps diagnosed. If you can grow poo poo you can even get garlic chives.
What's the condition? Is it allergies is or is it fodmaps (where no dairy, booze or sugar should be consumed also). E: If no diagnosis maybe get checked for that.

Home made granola, anything chocolate brownie, if you have a dehydrator Veggie Chips are amazing, drink mix powders (pinapple Crush is my favorite, but iced tea, lemonade, grape drink and fruit punch is always good, oh, and those MIO energy drops are great). Pringles.

Amazon is now selling their own brand of olive oil.

At least they're honest that it's a "product of Greece, Italy and Spain" and merely bottled in Italy.
