OK, here's a fun place for all of you who love to cook, barbeque or bake. . .
Have you been to Penzey's Spices at 12835 Preston Rd., Dallas, TX? It is the coolest place. . . every kind of spice you can think of and more. Who would think you could actually have a store with just spices (well, they do have a few other things - spice mixtures, sea salt, stuff like that)! They have probably 5 kinds of cinnamon and they have jars with all the different kinds for you to smell. I was amazed at the difference in the scent of each! It is fun just to smell all the different varieties of herbs, & spices.
Who knew that Ceylon Cinnamon smells, and tastes, totally different than China Cinnamon!! My favorite is the Ceylon Cinnamon - absolutely heaven in homemade cinnamon rolls!
It was like going to a spice school! Today I added ground nutmeg (yes, they did have whole nutmeg, but sometimes I'm lazy); a Smoky Seasoning salt (we already tried it on hamburger patties (Yum!) ; some Dutch Cocoa (one of those other things they carry) and Arrowroot (I have always wanted to try that! - I'll let you know how that turns out when I make my next deep dish peach pie!)
They are on Preston Rd. just south of 635 in a little shopping center. Next time you are by stop in and put your sniffer to work!
