I have been buying Penzeys Spices online for a while now. I have to say that they are definitely…read moregood quality, although some of the items can be a bit pricey. While I was traveling for business up in Birmingham, Alabama, I seen if they had a Penzeys Spices and nearby Homewood, Alabama. I decided to make the pilgrimage. It is a somewhat small store, however they are loaded with spices. Though I had just placed an order, I still managed to spend about 30 something dollars here and walked out with multiple spices that I did not know that I needed, but I'm sure glad that I found them. The staff was excellent. They were friendly and knowledgeable. It is obvious that they were passionate about the spices that they were selling and about cooking as a whole. If you find yourself around the Birmingham, Alabama area, I would definitely make a trip over this way.

I was so excited when this store opened here in Homewood, in fact I was at the store the morning…read morethey opened some years ago. I replaced all my spices/herbs/&c at no inconsiderable cost and simply ignored the over-the-top political stances of the company's founder. But as a long-time and consistent customer I cannot abide being called a "Fascist" by anyone, especially someone with whom I've spent a lot of money. I have no illusions that I'll be missed, but I'm moving on to some other quality spice provider even though it will be much less convenient to do business by mail.

The year-end holidays are upon us. It's too early to have visions of sugar plums dancing in our…read moreheads but it's just the time to have visions of smoked ham, turkey, green beans and other delicious foods playing with our salivary glands. There's always been an age-old debate of whether to serve cornbread dressing or stuffing. In the South it's cornbread dressing hands down all day long. That doesn't mean that all cornbread dressings are the same. You have: chicken pieces or not, sage or not, diced boiled eggs or not, soupy or dry, add some white bread or not, write your recipe out or just "eyeball" it. Of course, there is a certain rule to be followed religiously and that is to never use sweet cornbread. Then again, true Southerners would never cook sweet cornbread. With such a variation in the quality of dried sage in the stores some dressing batches use half a container of sage and some batches only require a heaping spoonful. There is a source for quality cornbread dressing seasoning that can be mailed to your home all year long. Suzy Purvis is a lady from Alabama and she knows her cornbread dressing. Actually, that's what she is known for and has won awards for it many times. Her family operates a spice business and are well-known for their breakfast sausage seasonings. I first learned of Mrs. Purvis through an on-air interview on a local radio talk show. Then I noticed the spice company name associated with the local meat market where I was buying my bulk breakfast sausage. The Spice Connection is a reliable source for consistency and high quality sage that is used in her cornbread dressing formula. There is a site that is dedicated to just the dressing packets www.https://www.dressingturkeys.com and there are recipes and hints to help you make successful dressing https://www.dressingturkeys.com/recipes I'm from the old school of "eye balling" and never writing down my measurements. But, there started to be an inconsistency to my batches mainly from the sage I was buying. I thought I would try the seasoning packet when I heard Mrs. Purvis on the radio. My first attempt at using her spice packet resulted in the best dressing I had made in a few years. Mrs. Purvis is the nicest person to correspond with through email. I had questions on how thin she makes her dressing before cooking it and she responded promptly and we carried on a nice conversation for a couple of days just talking about how the holidays used to be when the grandparents were alive and cooking. The only thing I have to say about the seasoning packet is to be sure and NOT add salt to anything you will add to the dressing mix before cooking. This especially includes the broth you use. The seasoning is more than just sage and it is pretty salty and if you add salt at every stage of prep like most cooks do the end result will probably be inedible due to over salting. Wait and add additional salt when you taste the mix before you add your raw eggs (if you add them).
