Arizona Dreaming
This is interesting. There's something about it that doesn't make me want to use a ton, but I think P likes it. Not necessarily something I'd need to refill.
Sandwich Sprinkle
Very yummy! This is an all purpose salt seasoning to sprinkle on anything! I've used it on potatoes several times.
Lemon Pepper Seasoning
This is nice and strong. It's good! Doesn't have added crap like some of the ones in stores.
Smoked Spanish Paprika
Yum. Makes roasted potatoes better. Good for lots of things.
Chicken Taco Seasoning (one of the only vegan taco mixes)
This doesn't seem terribly flavorful, but I've only used it in beans. I'd try a different one next.

You know, ground up beef roast! :P
No: sweet paprika, flake salt, toasted onions, celery, sugar, arrowroot, garlic, Tellicherry black pepper, minced parsley, dill seed, caraway, dill weed, bay leaf, thyme, savory, basil, marjoram and rosemary.
For like pot roast veggies, or whatever.

Jerks, white pepper is good.
Apparently there is one of these by me, it's like a block away from whole foods. Going to go to it soonish. I always wind up downtown when everything is closed.

I LOVE their poppy seeds. I'm interested to hear how you like Mural of Flavor. I always look at/sniff that when I'm at the store, but have never bought it...

Go, Sarah! I'll let you know when I try it, Jess.
Apparently, when you order online you can use more than 1 coupon code. I ended up using 3, and got 3 different free things!!

Sweet Curry Powder Your reviews made me buy this, being the curry powder novice. It is SOOO mild.. but I like it! I need to figure out how to make something comparable myself now. ;)
I bought a host of new spices but can't review them just yet. ;) Anyone know what to do with mace?? Muahahaha!

I'm going to add some more reviews into the main list.
Really, the only things I haven't been completely happy with are the vegetable broth base (just eh..pureed veggies without much flavor) and the shallot salt (which completely caked up)

Preston and I went to Penzeys a while back and decided it was weird and we didn't get anything. Spice and Tea exchange is way better/less weird

IT WAS WEIRD. It was quiet and the ladies who were working were weird and it was too fancy of a place and it had a weird vibe. It was just one of those stores that I go into and the people are like HEY DO YOU GO TO COLLEGE HERE? ARE YOU FROM HERE? WHAT DO YOU GO TO COLLEGE FOR? It's just weird. I blame that I'm in a touristy/snowbird filled area. But spice and tea exchange is cheaper too and has better stuff. JUST SAYIN.
