Comments on: Penzey’s salt free Mural of Flavor http://foodpluspolitics.com/2009/11/10/penzeys-salt-free-mural-of-flavor/ Recipes from scratch and a lot of chatter about food ( plus a little about politics ) Fri, 27 Aug 2010 23:22:50 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: ellaella http://foodpluspolitics.com/2009/11/10/penzeys-salt-free-mural-of-flavor/#comment-7108 ellaella Sat, 05 Dec 2009 20:18:41 +0000 http://foodpluspolitics.com/?p=4760#comment-7108 Hi, Sunny! Oooh, what a good assortment you chose! Thanks for letting me know. This Mural of Flavor stuff is just amazing, isn't it? (I have a recipe here for Cornish hens using 5-spice powder. Search on 'toaster oven' and you should be able to find it easily.) I totally understand the online ordering. I needed some stuff from Sephora the other day -- there's a store close by -- but with my right ankle pretty much out of commission and knowing the mall would be packed, I ordered online. Got free shipping and it came from Baltimore so it arrived the next day! Toss in my mrrebates rebate (currently at 10% for Sephora) and the free samples and I'm going to do it this way again. If you get nto the city, there's a Penzey's in Grand Central. It's just a mini-Penzey's but it smells as good as the bigger stores! Good to see you, my fellow furry friend...hee! :D Hi, Sunny!

I'd actually never heard of them, but I discovered there's a Penzy's store about 45 minutes away, in a busy mall. I figured it would be cheaper to pay the shipping and order online. Which I did, along with about 8 other interesting sounding herb and spice mixtures. I'm sure having fun experimenting with them. I expecially like the Trinidad Lemon-Garlic mixture. I also ordered smoked Paprika, a barbecue rub, Asian 5-spice powder among other fun things. And you're right, they do send a really fun catalog. Thanks for leading me in the right direction, dear Ella! XOXOXOX Hi Ella, I took your advice and ordered the Mural of Flavor from Penzy’s.

I probably wouldn't have taken a chance on this without sniffing it, after throwing away so many others. But it actually smells different, fresh and not all dried. Blerg. ;) I have some in a beef stew that's simmering in the oven right now, along with a bit of kosher salt and fresh-ground pepper. I will have to give your favorites a sniff next time I'm there.

Haven't tried the Mural of Flavor, but I want to. Word on the street here in Buffalo NY is that we're getting an actual store location, so I can go in and sniff everything before buying! :D I've been loving their Pasta Sprinkle. The Northwoods Seasoning is also great -- it's not salt-free, but it doesn't taste too salt-heavy either. (also, everyone needs to use blerg more often :) ) Penzey’s FTW!

And you reminded me to add that a little goes a long way. I also bought the Old World Blend but haven't used it yet. I walked in there with a list of 5 spices to replenish or replace and walked out with 10 jars. Oy! I love chicken Adobo so I will try that one too. Thanks for the tip. Ooh, on spuds, yes!
