I dropped them back when Penzey was vocally supporting the recall of Governor Scott Walker. I’m not kidding when I say I’ve spent thousands of dollars with them through the years. It used to be a fun adventure to go to their shop.
I was on their e-mail list, and the venom just dripped from his missives and hasn’t let up since. He’s seriously nuts!
Socialist, Stupid and Drunk is no way to go through life, Son!
A little research led me to many other great spice outlets WITHOUT a double-helping of HATE.
Isn’t there an alternate vendor of herbs and spices that we’ve discussed on the cooking thread?
Years ago, before the political screeds, the catalog’s customer stories increasingly featured those who were involved in do-good liberal activities, and less on basic wholesome family gatherings about cooking with grandma.
Noticing this trend toward celebrating social activist causes through the ruse of their cooking with Penzey’s spices, I wondered how long before the “families” would be two women, or men. Well sure enough I think it was the next catalog. No more orders from me. Then the push really began with the love wins equal logo and so forth. I moved soon thereafter, and never updated my address.
I had wondered if Bill were a fake persona like Betty Crocker (sorry for the bad comparison, Betty), or if Bill were the radical family member who stealthly wormed into a trusted position of authority before earnestly activating his social justice destruction as the ulterior motives became manifest.
And plus how irksome to find myself wasting my time contemplating any of this in the first place! Kind of like now, lol.
