There is a quick and easy seasoned noodle recipe [toss 1 TB. Bangkok Blend, 2 TB. rice vinegar, 1 /4 Cup oil and 1 TB. peanut butter with 3 Cups noodles] from Penzey's site that I make occasionally when I need a quick side, and I use it to season a more elaborate peanut-lime noodle recipe that am working on. I use it on skin-on chicken pieces or whole chickens that I grill or grill-roast. The spice mixture needs tome fat to get the flavors to bloom a bit. Works well in combination with lime. Sub lime juice for half or all of the rice vinegar recipes. |

Anyone else finding that the emails from Penzey's have gotten really odd lately? And anything you've tried lately that's a must have? Hubby will be in Madison next week and is making a run for me. I'm going to get lemon peel powder this time to add to fish/chicken breading. |

Jean, Penzey's has the best powdered turmeric I've found, and that includes Asian markets. |

I vastly prefer the monthly magazine/catalog. The little articles are fun. |

Good to know, Fuzzy, I generally just toss it into the pile of newspapers to go out....next time I'll give it a look first. |

Yes, I enjoy scanning those articles as well. Definitely an interesting slice of Americana. Although I wish they would include recipes that use their blends. I buy those and then they sit on my spice shelves while I continually go through all the basics.  (The exception would be the Italian Herb blend. I use that one all the time, and in many things that aren't Italian.)Emilie |

Emilie, What's interesting to me is how the content and subjects of the articles have changed. 5 years ago, it was exclusively "average midwestern homemakers" per stereotypical TV definition (mostly white, middle income, straight, married). Since they, they've undergone a sea change; there's immigrants from many countries, Muslims, Jews, gay couples, soldiers on assignment, striking unionists, and more. It shows that "who is an American" can be defined with a great deal more diversity today, at least as far as Penzey's marketing is concerned, which makes me feel good. As for blends ... well, frankly, I find blends pretty useless. I'm not surprised that they have trouble sourcing recipes which use them. The only ones I get from Penzey's are garam masala, and sweet curry, because both of those are salt-free blends of more than 5 spices which I use in some recipes in very small quantities, making it not worth blending myself. |

I love some of the blends and use them constantly. Foxpoint to add to fish breading or directly onto fish, Sandwich sprinkle for croutons and riceball/chicken breading, BBQ3000 for steaks and ribs, greek seasoning for souvlaki and greek salads. Other ones (new world seasoning comes to mind) languish in my cupboard too. thanks - order is with him and he will be stopping in the store in Madison to pick up the goods! |

You know when you get a craving for that garlic bread you make with a leftover hamburger bun and some garlic salt? Don't lie, you know what I'm talking about. Sandwich Sprinkle is really good for that. |
