Print Review

Useful link: For ages now I've been fighting a seemingly losing battle with the quantity of paper catalogs arriving at our house - firstly, I dislike shopping, and secondly, with the internet, I just don't need them anymore and hate the waste. However, there is one catalog that I will not be canceling, and that's the Penzey's spice catalog, which combines an awesome array of spices for sale with articles about the spices and where they come from, plus many recipes. It makes excellent bathroom reading, has inspired many a delicious meal, and more than once has been the basis for a school project! Penzey's is online at http://penzeys.com/
