No no no, I draw the line at ordering herbs online /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinser2.gif

That Penzey's site is amazing! I like to spice up my foods with whatever we have in the house, but who knew 1 company could have so many herbs and spices!

Penzeys is great- In the stores, all of the spices have an apothecary jar full of the spice to open and smell. When you walk in the door, the aroma is incredible!
