The latest Penzey's Spices magazine (I call it a magazine, because it comes out every month, and has articles and recipes in it. In fact, more articles and recipes than some "mainstream" cooking magazines. Penzey's also has a Magazine magazine that they sell, but why would one buy it when they're sending us such good content for free? But I digress.) has returned to its Midwestern roots. After several months of exotica, including a wide variety of immigrant families and their cuisine, we're back to "plain folks" and their food. Shrimp dip, chocolate cake, cranberry dressing, and coffee cake.

It's the "Lincoln Thanksgiving" issue, which would make one think there'd be some African-American content (which there has been in other issues), but whatever.

One thing which I did realize is that "middle-American food" isn't what it once was. Yeah, there's breakfast sausage and gingerbread. However, there's also anise biscotti, savoy cabbage & raspberry slaw, creole green beans, and escarole-pasta soup. Even Lincoln, Missouri wants to punch it up a bit these days. And why not?

Really unfortunate color balance on the printing though. Pick up a copy of the catalog and you'll see what I mean.

No point here really. Just musing.

Fuzzy,

The magazine used to be all about Bill. Do you remember the wedding?
