There's another advantage to Penzey's mail order that no one has
mentioned: the catalog itself. If there were a Penzey's in town, I
could go into the store, see and smell the spices, and hopefully talk to
the sales staff about how to use them, maybe pick up photocopied
recipes. I'd have to ask about prices.
With the catalog at home, it is more like reading a reference book. I
have all the information in one place. (Well, not all; I like cookbooks
and the web too. Y'all are such nitpickers.) I can get an idea for a
recipe right next to the spice which is next to the price. I find that
convenient.
