| New from the wonderful Penzey’s spice company, thanks to my brother and sister-in-law who gave me a gift certificate! Berbere spice blend and fenugreek are new to me, but I have plans. |
 |
| My spice shelf is now reorganized, and I have disposed of old, empty, and duplicate containers. There are approximately 75 spices in my pantry (you can’t see them all here). |

All my spices and herbs are on a little carousel on a pantry closet shelf. You have so many!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a lot of spices, but I really use them, some very often, some only rarely. But when a recipe calls for a spice, I like to have it.

It looks like you have an excellent spice cabinet. I keep rosemary and basil in my garden year-round, and a small spice rack in the cupboard, and the rest I buy as I need them. Your cabinet allows you to vary your taste combinations.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of spices but it must be nice to have them in one place and organized.
ReplyDeleteThose penzies seem good! Glad you are keeping your life flavorful. Thanks for your visit
ReplyDeleteoh wow! So much flavor on these shelves. I need chives and they are not available anywhere I've found locally (Denver area) as well as green onions. Nope. None.
ReplyDeletethe dried basil I got from whole foods organic recently tastes very weird... like anise sort of. Do you know about that kind of thing?

Penzey's spice company has great mail-order spices, and if you buy a minimum amount there's free shipping. They have a website (penzeys.com). I'm recommending them as a customer -- I don't have any interest in promoting them, never took anything from them!
ReplyDeleteI just checked on their website: chives are $2.95 for a small jar, and there are a couple of choices for basil. The free shipping limit is you have to order at least $39.95 (but I think there are sometimes better deals).
You asked what I know. That's it!

So many spices! I bet your food tastes amazing!

Have fun! I use fenugreek often so I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it.
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of spices also, and I use them regularly. A Penzey's gift certificate is a wonderful gift. I love that store. I bought some Berbere seasoning but have not yet tried but one Ethopian recipe. I want to learn to make the wonderful bread they use as a utensil.
ReplyDeleteVery nice indeed.
ReplyDeletePenzey's is great but if you need the basics, you can't beat the prices at Trader Joe's. And I love their Everything But the Bagel seasoning!
ReplyDeleteI, too, have ALL THE SPICES. Drives me crazy when I come across a new, exciting recipe, only to find that there's a spice I need and don't have even though I have a billion different spices in the cabinet. lol
ReplyDeleteI love Penzey's spices! They are located in the same state I live in. Your spice cabinet looks well stocked. Have fun trying your new spices!
