His sister is also in the spice business, she owns The Spice House. She tries to be non-political.

Foaming-at-the-mouth liberalism has consequences. šŸ˜

(Pssstā€¦itā€™s the Democrats who are racist.)

Check to see if you can find the same ingredients as your current one at The Spice House. They have a whole lot. We use Back of the Yards on a lot of things.

My daughter buys Penzy’s for me.

Bill is just saying what his wife tells him to say.

"After starting the year with All Republicans are Republicans and following up with Republicans are Racists weā€™ve set a nice little Boycott Penzeys! surge in motion," Penzey's CEO Bill Penzey said in an email to customers Friday.

What does that even mean?? šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

What matters is loss of sales. I suspect that’s why he’s getting jittery. I am sure a lot of people just delete his emails upon arrival while still remaining subscribed. But they no longer purchase now.

Northwoods was in my cabinet for BBQ and summer grilling. It ran out and hasnā€™t been replaced.

Maybe thatā€™s all they are admitting.

I doubt seriously if they’d be squealing like this over a net 3% loss. Thing is, the business lost was repeat customers, so they better hope the “new” 30,000 aren’t just one-time virtue signalers. If they’re even real.

This guy has a store in Delafield WI which is a conservative area. Traffic is non existent and I believe he stuck the store there as a middle finger to conservatives in Waukesha CO.

IIRC the New World was discovered as a result of the Europeans trying to find a direct route to the Indies.

Trade from the East was through Italy and the Italians were growing fat off the spice, silk and the trade of other commodities. At that time good spices were probably more valuable than gold, certainly more valuable than silver. If the western European nations could find their own route to the spices then the prices would fall.

Spain and Portugal especially wanted in on the action since they had spent fortunes finally driving the islamic Moors out of their land. As a result the Spanish Queen agreed to fund the Columbus expedition hoping any discoveries by him would make them wealthy again.

When Columbus finally made landfall he thought he had reached the Indies, one reason the locals were called Indians, but he had discovered an entire continent that was unknown to Europeans.
The treasures of that new continent weren’t spices and silk but gold, silver, gemstones, timber products, tobacco and other things.
